Mumford & Sons - Ghosts That We Knew Lyrics
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
We'll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that 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 our children come and they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that 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 coals
But hold me still, bury my heart on the coals [Live and US versions say "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 that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like [Live and US versions say "But I will hold on with all of my might"]
Just promise me we'll be alright
[Live and US versions' additional lines:
"But the 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 love this song and then that violin...
That's why music has been created for. What a masterpiece !
What a fucking beautiful song. Got me through my darkest days!
And I'll never forget One Love Manchester I was in bits and all of a sudden Up pops Marcus I nearly had a nervous breakdown I was inconsolable 😂😍
The Mumford and Sons that I miss 💖
Andrea B you can say that again.
This is what music is all about
Marcus is inside that song, with all his little gestures. Mesmerising.
Crazy how this song is still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to, it's a true masterpiece of a song 👌👌
"The Legend that is Ross Holmes" xxx
This performance will live on forever.
Absolute genius
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 you
And we'll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that 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 from my recent disgrace
'Cause you know my call
We'll share my all
Now children come and they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
'Cause oh that 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 and I will see the light
'Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
But the ghosts that we knew made us blackened or blue
But we'll live a long life
And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from the view
And we'll live a long life
What a beaut.
