Mumford & Sons - For Those Below lyrics

rate me

Helpless she lies across the stairs

Haunting your days consuming your breath

There will be healing but don't force this girl to stand

As she's counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands

You told me life was long but now that it's gone

You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock

Called to be rung for those below

Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room

Hold your throat is that healing that your hearing in her tune

Wanting change but loving her just as she lies

Is the burden of the man who's build his life on love

You told me life was long but now that it's gone

You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock

Called to be rung for those below

I be locked up in store

In the lavender ward

Cause my mind is just like her's

Just as broken just as crippled just as burned

And then I find myself on top as the leader of the flock

Called to be rung for those below
