Ghosts That We Knew

Mumford & Sons Mumford & Sons

You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault no cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause, oh, they gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
We'll share my all
Now children come and they will hear me roar

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause, oh, they gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

But hold me still, bury my heart on the coast
And hold me still, bury my heart next to yours

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause, oh, that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on with all of my mind
Just promise me we'll be alright

The ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue
But we'll live a long life
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you
And we'll live a long life
