Lyrics Gone Are the Days - The Gray Havens

Gone Are the Days

Hope
In the furnace, you know
It can burn away slow
Or come out like gold
And mine
Is walking the edge of the knife
In the fire tonight
In the fire, I fight
With a song
Carries on to the night
The future that’s bright
The morning will bring
One day, when sorrows are gone
Further down and along
We’ll finally sing
We’ll sing
Gone are the days
When we cry-y-y, cry-y-y
Here are the days
When we’ll fly-y-y, fly-y-y
All our hopes will turn to sight
Beyond the veil, in the morning light
We’ll sing gone
Are the days
I wait
But it’s so hard, you know
To believe on your own
That you’ll be okay
When sorrow keeps chasing me down
I run till my feet hit the ground
When we gather to pray
As I reach
For the bread and the wine
For the comfort I"ll find
Picture the scene
One days
To the table we’ll come
Every daughter and son, finally free
We’ll sing
Gone are the days
When we cry-y-y, cry-y-y
Here are the days
When we’ll fly-y-y, fly-y-y
All our hopes will turn to sight
Beyond the veil, in the morning light
We’ll sing gone
Are the days
Finally, all is right
Only love and light
Finally, all is right
When all is right…
We’ll sing
Gone are the days
When we cry-y-y, cry-y-y
Here are the days
When we’ll fly-y-y, fly-y-y
All our hopes will turn to sight
Beyond the veil, in the morning light
We’ll sing gone
Are the days
