Mumford & Sons - Rushmere Lyrics

Mumford & Sons Lyrics

"Rushmere"

Don't you miss the breathlessness
The wildness in the eye?
Come home late in the morning light
Bloodshot dreams under streetlight spells
A truth no one can tell
And I was still a secret to myself

Light me up, I'm wasted in the dark
Rushmere, restless hearts in the end
Get my head out of the ground
Time don't let us down again

Take me back to empty lawns
And nowhere else to go
You say come get lost in a fairground crowd
Where no one knows your name
There's only honest mistakes
There's no price to a wasted hour

Well light me up, I'm wasted in the dark
Rushmere, restless hearts in the end
And get my head out of the ground
Time don't let us down again

What's lost is gone and buried deep
Take heart and let it be
Don't lie to yourself
There's madness and magic in the rain
There's beauty in the pain
Don't lie to yourself

Well light me up, I'm wasted in the dark
Rushmere, restless hearts
There's something we might miss
A whole life in a glimpse
Well I'm still working it out
Time don't let us down again
'Cause I won't wait
Get my head out of the ground
Time don't let us down again

Mumford & Sons told about their first new music in seven years on the release day of this song, "I think this has been the most prolific two years we've ever had as a band. We have a lot of songs to share with you... and it all begins where we started, really, with 'Rushmere'. We're restless to get going, relieved and excited to share this first one with you."

"Rushmere" marks the first studio effort from Mumford & Sons as a trio after the departure of Winston Marshall.
