Mumford And Sons Lyrics for Song: Babel
 Lyrics for Album: Babel [2012]
 
 
 
 10143>Cos I know that time has numbered my days
 
 And I'll go along with everything you say
 
 But I'll ride home laughing
 
 Look at me now
 
 Through the walls of my town they come crumbling down
 
 
 
 And my ears hear the call of
 
 My unborn sons
 
 And I know that choices colour all I've done
 
 But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
 
 I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love
 
 
 
 Cos I'll know my weakness, know my voice
 
 And I'll believe in grace and choice
 
 And I know perhaps my heart is fast
 
 But I'll be borne without a mask
 
 
 
 Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
 
 I stretch my arms into the sky
 
 I cry Babel, Babel look at me now
 
 Through the walls of my town they come crumbling down
 
 
 
 You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
 
 As all we see will slip into the cloud
 
 So come down from your mountain and stand where we been
 
 You know our breath is weak and our body thin
 
 
 
 Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
 
 I should've known I was weaker from the start
 
 You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
 
 To tear, tear them down
 
 Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
 
 
 
 Cos I know my weakness,
 
 Know my voice
 
 And I'll believe in grace and choice
 
 And I know perhaps my heart is fast,
 
 But I'll be borne without a mask
 
 10143>
