[Verse 1] Follow The flight of the north moving birds Steady The echo, the great moving herd [Pre-Chorus 1] They fly through the night Fill their wings and their sights With cold air and pale shadowed moons [Pre-Chorus 2] Oh lover, kid you not Though we promised a lot I must fly from you [Chorus] So hold me Sing me to sleep On the crest of a late breaking wave And write me Into your thoughts I'll be safe with the words on the page [Verse 2]
Shadow The light plays its own little games Dream world Its own silent claim to remain [Pre-Chorus 3] And it'll follow you still Through the streams and the hills And remnants of gold autumn leaves [Pre-Chorus 4] Oh lover, you can walk But your shadow still stalks From between the trees [Chorus] So hold me Sing me to sleep On the crest of a late breaking wave And write me Into your thoughts I'll be safe with the words on the page
