[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Sparks and smoke rings
Fill up the night
When it catches
I'll be swimmin' in the ancient light
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
And you gotta go through the othеr side
Until it's over
How you let it go

[Verse 3]
Thinkin' of who camе 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

[Chorus]
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
