Lover of the Light

by Mumford , Sons

4 4 4 6- 6- 6 6 
And in the middle of the night
6 5-       6      6-     6- 
 I may watch you go
5-          7    7  7 6-   6-   6   6  5- 
 There'll be no value in the strength
5- 6        5-    6  6-     6- 
 of walls that I have grown
5-            7  7  7-  7  7      6-     6-
 There'll be no comfort in the shade
6    5-     6-  6     5-   4-(LOW)
 of the shadows thrown
4   4    6    6-      4 4    6      5- 
 But I'd be yours if you'd be mine
 
5-      6  5-   7
Stretch out my life
4     5-     5   4-   4 
 and pick the seams out
5-        6    5-     7
 Take what you like
4      5-      5   6     5-     54 
 but close my ears and eyes
4   4    6    6-      76      5-
 Watch me stumble over and over
 
 
you built your tower
 But call me home
 and I will build a throne
 And wash my eyes out never again
5-     5-  7       7    9-    9-    8-
But love the one you hold
4 4 4 4  5-    4-  
 And I'll be your gold
4 4 4 4 5- 5 4-
 To have and to hold
8- 8- 8- 7 7 6-
 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'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 will 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
