Ghosts That We Knew Lyrics - 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, and will 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, 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 cold

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, they gave me such a fright

But I will hold on with all of my might

Just promise me we'll be alright

But 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
