Waiting searching the lines of the songs you played for me

Sailing into the misty air

Fading bound for I don’t know where

When I’m there I’ll see

And If I walk away

Please follow me

If I walk away

Please follow me

Weightless drifting through stars I got

Faithless woke in the dark and I made this from my dream

Play me all your sweet rhymes

Recreate me, now comes the time when I’ll need your truth to see

So if I walk away

Please follow me

Yeah if I walk away

Please follow me

Walk away

Let the fear fall away

Into the fire you made

Scarlet and gold

Walk away

Head for the light of day

Follow a brighter way

Out of the cold and dark

Down to the one bright spark

Futures that all might start

Someday

So if I walk away

Please follow me

If I walk away

Please follow me

Fragments shells of a long ago lifetime

Faces that once were mine

Thrown down by the sea

So if I walk away

Please follow me

Yes if I walk away

Would you please follow me
