“The newest music video from The Lumineers shows the heartbreak and destruction brought by alcoholism, as it follows the path of fictional Gloria Sparks, a woman whose alcoholism destroys her family.
“Gloria” is the first song released from The Lumineers’ upcoming album III, which follows three generations of the fictional Sparks family. In the music video, Gloria is seen drinking around her infant, fighting with her spouse, and ultimately leaving the scene of a car accident that she caused.”
Now the evening has come to a close And I’ve had my last dance with you On to the empty streets we go And it might be my last chance with you So I might as well get it over The things I have to say won’t wait until another day
refrein: You’re a lady, I’m a man, you’re supposed to understand How these things are often planned to be You’re romantic, I’m a fool, You’re the teacher, I’ve come to school Here I sit and hope that you’ll love me You’re pure magic, unlock my chain Nothing ventured, nothing gained And so I say with no restraint, be mine, be mine
Hard to answer I agree But then I’ve got to know I’m not asking you to marry me Just a little love to show Oh I know I could make you happy So the things I have to say Won’t wait until another day
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
See me through the daytime (See me through the daytime) And through the long, lonely night Lead me through the darkness (Ooh-ooh-ooh) And on into the light
To stand with me when I’m troubled (Stand with me when I’m troubled) And help me through my strife At times, get so uncertain, I turn to You (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Turn to You in my young life
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Someone to hold on to (Someone to hold to) And keep me from all fear Someone to be my guiding light (Ooh-ooh-ooh) And keep me ever dear
To keep me from all my selfishness (Keep me from all selfishness) To keepin’ me from all my sorrow To lead me onto givingness (Ooh-ooh-ooh) So I can see a new tomorrow
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Someone to walk with Oh, someone to hold by the hand Someone to talk with Someone to understand Eh (yeah) Yeah (yeah)To call on when I need You (Call on when I need You) And I need You very much To open up my arms to You (Feel Your tender touch) Feel Your tender touch
To feel it and to keep it (Feel it and keep it) Tuck it right here in my soul (yeah-yeah) And care for it and keep it with me (Never, never to grow old) Never to grow old
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You One more time again Lord, if I ever needed, needed someone, I need You Lord, oh, if I ever needed someone, I need You

I was just coastin’, never really goin’ anywhere Caught up in a web, I was gettin’ kind of used to stayin’ there And out of the blue I fell for you
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me Cloud nine, was always out of reach Now I remember what it feels like to fly You give me butterflies
Kiss full of color, makes me wonder where you’ve always been I was hiding in doubt ’til you brought me out of my chrysalis And I came out new All because of you
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me Cloud nine, was always out of reach Now I remember what it feels like to fly You give me butterflies Yeah, you give me butterflies
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down You’re takin’ my hand, ‘stead of takin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me Cloud nine, was always out of reach Now I remember what it feels like to fly You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm
