Follow Me

 

~ 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

my love 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 when the wind blows, it won't bite

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 that life together would be sweet

and that we would always crave each other

would you follow me?

 

I will seek out beauty to share with you

but when it hides, dancing just beyond the shadows

I can strike up music of our own

you will still feel the warmth, see the light

feel the breeze and taste the love

if you will follow me.
