Lumineers, The - Gale Song Lyrics






It's a lonely road, full of tired men
And you can see it in their faces
And you'll be home in spring
I can wait 'til then
I heard you're on the big train

And oh this too shall pass
This loneliness won't last for long
I wasn't there to take his place
I was ten thousand miles away

So when you hear my voice
And when you say my name
May it never give you pain

'Cause I don't wanna go
But it's time to leave
You'll be on my mind, my destiny

And I won't fight in vain
I'll love you just the same
I couldn't know what's in your mind
But I saw the pictures
You're looking fine

And there was a time when I stood in line
For love, for love, for love,
But I let you go, oh I let you go

And he fell apart with his broken heart
And this blood, this blood, this blood
Oh, it drains from my skin, it does

    I just read your words.
    This feeling when we listen their songs is such an amazing one

    s.... ....

    Didn't know anything about them except from their "Ho Hey" Song. Then I just listened to this album and its genuinely so great and emotional, heard all of this stuff a thousand times. Its a shame nobody knows about this and they are so underrated. Just a bad time for a good musician to be alive, ppl would rather listen to cardi B singing about being fu**ed in the ass. What a waste...

    No entiendo como no todo mundo ama está canción
