Ghosts That We Knew

Mumford And Sons · Babel [2012]

You saw my pain, washed out in the rain

Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins

But you saw no fault no crack in my heart

And you kneel 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 that 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 from my recent disgrace

Cause you know my call

We'll share my all

And our children come and they will hear me roar

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 as long as you like

Just promise me that we'll be alright



But hold me still bury my heart on the coals

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 as long as you like

Just promise me that we'll be alright



The ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue

And we'll live a long life.

And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view

And we'll live a long life
