Chillingly and achingly beautiful.
After the Storm - Mumford & Sons
And after the storm / I run and run as the rains come / And I look up, I look up / on my knees and out of luck / I look up
Night has always pushed up day / You must know life to see decay / But I won’t rot, I won’t rot / Not this mind and not this heart / I won’t rot
And I took you by the hand / And we stood tall / And remembered our own land / What we lived for
And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears / And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears / Get over your hill and see what you find there / With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
And now I cling to what I knew / I saw exactly what was true / But oh no more / That’s why I hold / That’s why I hold with all I have / That’s why I hold
I will die alone and be left there / Well I guess I’ll just go home / Oh God knows where / Because death is just so full and mine so small / Well I’m scared of what’s behind and what’s before
