Mumford & Sons - Ghosts That We Knew Lyrics

"Ghosts That We Knew" is the second single in a series of radio premieres made by Mumford & Sons. The band is supposedly aiming to release their sophomore album in 2012, but until then, they keep on premiering new songs during live radio shows. This one's a winner, hope the rest of them are just as good.

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 crack in my heart
And you kneel 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 that we’ll be alright

But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
And hold me still bury my heart on the cold

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
Just promise me that we’ll be alright

But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you
And we’ll live a long life
