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
