Lyrics
Better get out of the way
Gonna figure out what I wanna say
I've been a long time comin'
Makin' my way through the weeds
Branches tuggin' my sleeves
I've been a long time gone
No more cryin'
I'm not gonna put up a fight
When I get there
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
Dry leaves under my shoes
I got nothin' to lose
And now the clouds roll in
In the dark I'm gatherin'
While everything's unravelin'
I am buildin' a fire
Sparks and smoke rings
Fill up the night
When it catches
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
And you gotta go through the other side
Until it's over
How you let it go
Thinkin' of who came before
I hear them knock on the door
They've been a long time comin'
Mmm, when I let 'em in
I feel their breath on my skin
They've been a long time gone
We'll be dancin'
Oh, what a sight (What a sight)
When they get here
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
