Mumford & Sons

Ghosts That We Knew

You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw blood running from my veins
But you saw no fault, no crack in my heart
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart

But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
and we will live the long life

So give me hope in the darkness
and I will see the light
Cause, oh, it 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 and turn south from that place
and close my eyes from my recent disgrace
cause you know my core and will share my all
and now children come and they'll hear me roar

So give me hope in the darkness
and I will see the light
Cause, oh, it gave me such a fright
but I will hold as long as you like
just promise me we'll be alright

Hold me still, bury my heart on the cold
So give me hope in the darkness
and I will see the light

Cause, oh, it gave me such a fright,
but I will hold as long as you like
just promise me we'll be alright


But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
and we will live the long life
