Mumford & Sons - Lover Of The Light Lyrics






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

Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
Take what you like
But close my ears and eyes
Watch me stumble over and over

I had done wrong
You built 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 gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

With 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've tried
I was not stable
And flawed by pride
I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up - breathe in and breathe out

So love the one you hold
And I'll be your gold
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'd be yours if you'd be mine

So love the one you hold
And I'll be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

So love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

    This is a short alternate story from MCU, somehow Heimdall lost all his powers, sent to earth to be a normal human being but remain blind. He can not withstand his daily life as a normal human being and gets frustrated, he ran blindly and chase the sunlight and mistook it as the bifrost as he can feel the ray penetrating his face. He dashes to the sun and came to the edge of the cliff and realizes that its just the sun and he screams to Odin begging for mercy and his powers to be given back to him.

  22. G.... S....

    Why are u running xd

  23. E.... P....

    I agree with Yvonne XxXxX’s beautiful interpretation. The man is blind and is obviously in denial about the death of his wife. I would also like to add though that there is a lot of Christian allegory and metaphor here, as is often present in Mumford and Sons songs. The stag was a well-known symbol for Christ in medieval art, who would trample and destroy the devil (the snake). Therefore, I think that this is representing Christ leading the blind man out of his darkness (both literal and metaphorical) into the light of Christ’s love - a beautiful thing! Isaiah 42:16: "I will lead the blind by a way they do not know, In paths they do not know I will guide them I will make darkness into light before them And rugged places into plains These are the things I will do, And I will not leave them undone."

  24. Z.... L....

    eu simplesmente odeio o Fábio Porchat. Câncer dos anúncios do YouTube. EM TODO VÍDEO EUNAOAGUENTOMAAAAAISSSS

  28. A.... M....

    Funny fact . Beautiful Song !

  29. H.... J....

    I definitely think it could be taken in so many ways or definitely does seem like he has lost his wife and dressing in black resembling a funeral... and he would rarther jump and be in the light with her... but

    Honestly what i took from this song is that the speaker is feeling intense love for someone that for some reason cannot have. From various lines throughout the song I keep getting the idea that the speaker is saying "this is all of me, the good and the bad, accept me for what I am, push me to be my best, believe in me, and I'll do the same for you".
    It also represents the grieving process one goes through when they have lost the one they love... thinking of the other (setting the table for two) waking up and seeing/ feeling the empty spot beside you. Wanting to just run to them...


    Lover of the light- your lover is always your light...

    “To have and to hold” through sickness and in health...

  52. M.... A....

    Simply marvellous.. Thank's Munford and sons.. 🙏

  53. L.... H....

    I ain't gay but Idris Elba is Idris Elba

  54. N.... C....

    Best Mumford and Sons song change my mind.

  55. C.... J....

    The song is brilliant but idris absolutely steals the show here

  56. A.... L....

    I remember watching this video when it first came out. It literally brought a tear to my eye. So did them selling out.

  57. C.... B....

    I'm a simple woman, i see Idris Elba, i click

  58. N.... S....

    for a minute i thought i was watching a high production value coffee advertisement

  59. P.... C....

    I would like to offer another interpretation; a person who has renounced their religion suddenly returns to it, seeking out "the light".

  60. E.... J....

    How have I not seen this....how beautiful is this?!?!?!

  61. p.... ....

    i cant believe im crying ive heard this sing b4 i my impression is that you should make the like you want but thats not my life and i want some form of beauty that concerns my story one day if im one of the chosen highly unlikely....

  62. V.... H....

    This is the most wonderful combination ever; Idris/Mumford = perfection

  63. C.... B....

    Uhm, that's Idris Elba...
    That sound you here? Me screaming.

  64. D.... O....

    no fuckin shit ! im a mexican who loves Mumford and sons and idrid ! dream come true

  65. A.... T....

    😘😘😘😘😘

  66. M.... O....

    Stepping into sobriety🙏

  67. E.... ....

    Are deer symbolic of something that I'm not aware of? Seen them used like this in a few places (videos, games)...

    E.... ....

    "A sacred animal with the spirit of gentleness and softness, a messenger, a shaman; maize and femininity personified. ... Like a crown, the antlers grow beyond its body, bringing it closer to the sky and making it sacred. In many cultures, the deer is a symbol of spiritual authority."

  68. m.... g....

    It would be cool if ed sheeran and mumford and sons sing together

  69. J.... H....

    ahhhh mumford...so brilliant!

  70. T.... J....

    perfect video for Solsbury Hill

  71. H.... C....

    I feel like this is Idris Elba's best role.

  72. B.... J....

    Idris Elba and Mumford and Sons is an explosive pairing! This is the most INTENSE video ever.

  73. N.... I....

    Make this man Bond already!

  74. L.... d....

    I will go looking for you leaving everything behind showing you that I will always be yours...Do not lose hope that I will return to give you back everything we deserve ... a happy ending

  75. G.... L....

    I love Mumford & Sons - and Idris Elba isn't a bad addition at all!

  76. m.... l....

    Their songs always makes me want to hug and slow dance with someone.

  77. J.... m....

    I will build a throne 👸🏼

  78. B.... B....

  81. B.... R....

    If this song and video together don't gut punch you, check your pulse.

  82. J.... P....

    Not a convincing video.

  83. A.... S....

    This one kind of sounds like Dave Matthew's Band.

  84. A.... L....

    Idris Elba is sooo beautiful! Gorgeous man!!!

  85. F.... T....

    That's the captain of the Promethius!

  86. L.... C....

    For some reason my (really bad) teacher showed this video to us in school and told us to dissect it and tell him what we thought was happening
    We also did that with the song speeding car
    I learned nothing that whole year

  87. B.... B....

    Love you guys! Keep ROCKING 🤘

  88. M.... b....

    2019 anyone?

    M.... b....

    almost every fckn day... this is one of my favorite sad/happy/optimist/fraught song since "fix you", whereby i'll be happier... (L) greetings from hungary

  89. L.... ....

    But imagine if he tripped at the end and went over

  90. J.... ....
