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
