Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Better get out of the way

Gonna figure out what I wanna say

I've been a long time coming

[Verse 2]

Making my way through the weeds

Branches tug at my sleeves

I've been a long time gone

[Chorus]

No more crying

I'm not gonna put up a fight

When I get there

I'll be swimming in the ancient light

[Verse 3]

Dry leaves under my shoes

I got nothing to lose

And now the clouds roll in

[Verse 4]

In the dark, I'm gathering

While everything's unraveling

I'm building a fire

[Chorus]

Sparks and smoke rings

Fill up the night

When it catches

I'll be swimming in the ancient light

[Bridge]

Well, you gotta go to the other side

Until it's, oh, ooh

How do you let it go?

[Verse 5]

Thinking of who came before

I hear them knock at the door

They've been a long time coming

[Verse 6]

Mmm, when I let 'em in

I feel their breath on my skin

They've been a long time gone

[Chorus]

We'll be dancing

Oh, what a sight

What a sight

When they get here

I'll be swimming in the ancient light

I'll be swimming in the ancient light

I'll be swimming in the ancient light
