Follow Me

 

 

 

If I told you

that I couldn't promise the sun would always shine

but I could promise you would always know warmth

like warm amber on an onyx night

would you follow me?

 

If I told you

that I couldn't promise the moon would always come out

but I could promise my heart would always shine

lighting the way for you

would you follow me?

 

If I told you

that I couldn't promise the wind won't bite when it blows

but I could promise you shelter

wrapped up in my arms

would you follow me?

 

If I told you

that I couldn't promise some days won't taste bitter

but I could promise life together would be sweet

and that we would always crave each other

would you follow me?

 

If I told you

that I can see for miles and miles

the beauty in days, the magic of nights

and I could weave them into every moment

would you follow me?

 

I can tell the truth and make it right

you will know the warmth, see the light

feel the breeze and taste the love

if you have a place in your heart

to follow me.
