Better get out of the way
Gonna figure out what I wanna say
I've been a long time comin'
Makin' my way through the weeds
Branches tuggin' my sleeves
I've been a long time gone

No more cryin'
I'm not gonna put up a fight
When I get there
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light

Dry leaves under my shoes
I got nothin' to lose
And now the clouds roll in
In the dark I'm gatherin'
While everything's unravelin'
I am buildin' a fire

Sparks and smoke rings
Fill up the night
When it catches
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light

And you gotta go through the other side
Until it's over
How you let it go

Thinkin' of who came before
I hear them knock on the door
They've been a long time comin'
Mmm, when I let 'em in
I feel their breath on my skin
They've been a long time gone

We'll be dancin'
Oh, what a sight (what a sight)
When they get here
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
