Lines in the sand (Marcus Mumford)

Who am I
Rambling at my reflection in the rear view light
Following a stranger, praying for a fight
Or the strength to get back on my knees again
This light
Glowing neon in the corner of my mind
Burns and burns but leaves no warmth behind
I kinda wish you'd just done it in the dark 

Oh my God
We're here again
It all slows down
To lines in the sand 

Will I give out
Only that which I myself was given once
Where is all the mercy that was promised us
Perhaps we ask too much
Coulda just as well been me
Brought before them head down in that midday heat
Only defined by my most heinous deed
Well who would trace a finger through the dust 

Refrain 

All we can hope Is that we suffer well 

When the cycle ends 

When there's tales to tell 

When it reaches me 

Let me be a stonecatcher please 

Refrain
