conversation with my son gangsters angels

Mumford & Sons

Whatever could have made you
So sure of yourself
Whispers in a ruined house
The leaves that sing with no sound
There s no flowers growing
In the place where we are right
The kids and their questions
It ll keep you up all night

Who am I away from the fire
With no flames on my face?
He comes and sits beside me
And asks me, What is this place?

I get higher and higher
The lower I go
This upside world
With a knife at its throat
We re all tumblers and beggars
Your mother and I will show you
Gangsters and angels
Darling, come and see
The cross or the machine?
It s always the same choice
The best I ever met
Had nothing and gave it all away

We d rather be ruined than change
And die in our dread
But love your crooked neighbour
With your crooked heart

Reach across again
Here s where Heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here s where Heaven starts
I m with you til the end
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here s where Heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here s where Heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here s where Heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here s where Heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
Reach across again
Here s where Heaven starts
I end where you begin
With my hand over your heart
