Follow Me

Follow me into the cave
In the dark that we both crave
The echoes come back at us
Like haunting cries we mistrust
Follow me into the ocean
Where the water feeds our emotion
So we can show our devotion
Call my name and I will follow
Look at me and I will swallow
Like the heavy mountain air
I get breathless when you stare
Follow me and I will show you
The sky’s hues the different colors
show you all the watercolors
Bring them down, give them to you
each and every deepest blue
Let you sink into me
So you can feel my sincerity
I will follow you anywhere
Because I love the way you care
Twirl my fingers through your hair
In your mind I love to share
Words they follow us around
When you sing I love that sound
Like following the great Devine
For this feeling I can’t define
Follow me all of our days
Stumble over the words I try to say
I’ll show you all I portray
The hidden maze inside myself
The old dust that’s on my shelf
Just hold my hand and I will follow
Sit with me so I won’t feel hollow
I’ll send you a message this way
For the love I want to display
But these words I’m scared to say
