Lover of the Light

Mumford And Sons · Babel [2012]

And in the middle of the night

I may watch you go

There'll be no value in the strength

Of walls that I'll have grown

There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown



But I'd be yours

If you'd be mine



Stretch out my life and pick the seams out

Take what you like but close my ears and eyes

Or Watch me stumble over and over



I have done wrong, you build your tower

But call me home and I will build a throne

And wash my eyes out never again



But love the one you hold

And I will be your gold

To have and to hold

A lover of the light



With skin too tight and eyes like marbles

You spin me high so watch me as I glide

Before I tumble homeward, homeward



I know I've tried I was not stable

And Flawed by pride, I miss my sanguine eyes

So hold my hands up

Breathe in and breathe out.



So love the one you hold

And I will be your gold

To have and to hold

A lover of the light



And in the middle of the night

I may watch you go

There'll be no value in the strength

Of walls that I'll have grown

There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown



You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show

But I'd be yours

If you'd be mine



So love the one you hold

And I'll be your gold

To have and to hold

A lover of the light
