Ghosts That We Knew

Mumford & Sons

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 view and we’ll live a long life.

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light ‘cause oh, they gave me such a fright.
But I will hold as long as you like. Just promise me we’ll be alright.

The ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue, but we’ll live a long life.
The ghosts that we knew will flicker from view, but we’ll live a long life.

“As we were making Babel, Sigh No More's shadow kept getting bigger and bigger. There was a lot in us that was like, 'That's OK, fuck it, Babel will be the disappointing second child – like a lot of us are, actually.' ”

— Marcus Mumford
