"Beloved" lyrics - MUMFORD & SONS

MUMFORD & SONS
"Beloved"

Austere enthroned in white grandeur
But tired a shift
A whisper of where you sailed ahead
From your eyes
I'd never seen you unkempt before
As you whispered "Darling close the door"
Well how, have I not made a note of every word
You ever said
Time, is not on our side
But I pretend that it's alright
She says the Lord has a plan
But admits it's pretty hard to understand

[Refrain:]
Before you leave you must know you are beloved
And before you leave, remember I was with you

Are you afraid
How ever could you not be
In this rosy light
This is strange
I feel a hand come through the mirror
Pointing at the light
Pointing at the light we never see
As you put your feathered arms over me

[Refrain:]
Before you leave you must know you are beloved
And before you leave remember I was with you
And as you leave
I won't hold you back beloved

[Bridge:]
You sit
And talk the stars down from the sky
Down there, forget the chaos in your eyes love

[Refrain:]
And as you leave you must know you are beloved
And as you leave I can see the wild has come for you
And as you leave I won't hold you back beloved
And as you leave see my children playing at your feet
