THE CAFE – by Mumford & Sons

April 8, 2012

It’s empty in the valley of
your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as
you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you’ve
left behind
The harvest left no food
for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-
eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your
defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your
neck
And I’ll find strength in
pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s
called again
Cause I have other things
to fill my time
You take what is yours
and I’ll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my
broken mind
So tie me to a post and
block my ears
I can see widows and
orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my
faults
And despite my growing
fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your
neck
And I’ll find strength in
pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s
called again
So come out of your cave
walking on your hands
And see the world
hanging upside down
You can understand
dependence
When you know the
maker’s land
So make your siren’s call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you
have to say
Cause I need freedom
now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it’s
meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your
neck
And I’ll find strength in
pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s
called again
