The Cave Mumford & Sons Lyrics

It was released in the UK on 1 March 2010. It positioned 81 in Triple J Hottest 100, 2009 before the single had been released. It was the second single in the US, after "Little Lion Man”. It is the third single by London folk quartet, Mumford & Sons free from their debut album, ‘’Sigh No More’’.  In truth, it's not as memorable as of the singles that came before, despite plugging the same delightful folk-rock groove. With the type often difficult Holden Caulfield levels of legitimacy, some critics may well question the band's beard credentials, but that's their loss. On its own terms, "The Cave" is a solid bit of hope-filled jangle-pop ("And I'll find strength in pain / and I will change my ways") with a pleasurable sufficient mix of plunk and faint to translate a few more harmony fans to the Mumford source.

by Mumford & Sons

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand

So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
