Acts Of Man Lyrics - Midlake

If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter 

Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait 

Let all that run through the fields, through the quiet 

Go on with their, on with their own hidden ways 

When all the newness of gold travels 

Far from where it had once been 

Born like the earth over years 

And when the acts of man 

Cause the ground to break open 

Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake 

Great are the sounds of all that live 

And all that man can hold 

If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter 

Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake
