Mumford & Sons - Lover of the Light lyrics

rate me

In the middle of the night, I may watch you go

There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown

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

But I'll be yours if you'll be mine

Stretch out my life and pick the seams out

Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes

Watch me crumble over and over

I have done wrong, so 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'll be your goal

To have and to hold

A lover of the light

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 tried, I was not stable

Flawed by pride, I miss my sanguine eyes

So hold my hands up...breathe in, breathe out.

But love the one you hold

And I'll be your goal

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 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'll be yours if you'll be mine

So love the one you hold

And I will be your goal

To have and to hold

A lover of the light

So love the one you hold

And I will be your goal

To have and to hold

A lover of the light
