Marcus Mumford - Matches lyrics

[Verse 1] I hear babies laughing before they're born There's a mother crying whose heart is torn Hear the distance calling a future man He will travel back when he can [Verse 2] Looked at d**h and traded this life for love Shook his hand and looked to the skies above Heard the future calling a simple man He says its just part of his plan [Chorus] Shake the earth like a sheet Blow the match out and see Mountains will fall from clouds to seas It's only the world as it seems [Verse 3] It's a penniless way to understand Frozen faced in mirrors of healing hands Went from shadow-writing to finding grace Each desperate to find our own place [Chorus] [Chorus]
