Speak To Me

Our new favorite band around here is Mumford & Sons. Every song on the Sigh No More disc is a good one, but the following one really spoke to me.


AFTER THE STORM

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

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

And 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 scared of what's behind and what's before

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
