Better get out of the way
Gonna figure out what I wanna say
I've been a long time coming
Making my way through the weeds
Branches tug at my sleeves
I've been a long time gone
No more crying
I'm not gonna put up a fight
When I get there
I'll be swimming in the ancient light
Dry leaves under my shoes
I got nothing to lose
And now the clouds roll in
In the dark, I'm gathering
While everything's unraveling
I'm building a fire
Sparks and smoke rings
Fill up the night
When it catches
I'll be swimming in the ancient light
Well, you gotta go to the other side
Until it's, oh, ooh
How do you let it go?
Thinking of who came before
I hear them knock at the door
They've been a long time coming
Mmm, when I let 'em in
I feel their breath on my skin
They've been a long time gone
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
