34. "Ghosts That We Knew" Mumford and Sons- was very meaningful
Sat Aug 6, 2016, 12:01 AM
Aug 2016

to me when a friend passed.

https://m.







[Verse 1]
You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
And 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
[Chorus]
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 (with all of my might)
Just promise me we'll be all right

[Verse 2]
So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
And we'll share my all
And our children come and they will hear me roar

[Chorus]
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 (with all of my might)
Just promise me we'll be all right

[Bridge]
But hold me still
Bury my heart on the coals (next to yours)
And hold me still
Bury my heart on the coals (next to yours)

[Chorus]
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 (with all my might)
Just promise me we'll be all right

[Outro]
(Ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue
But we'll live a long life)
And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life





I'm sorry for your loss.
