Follow Me in the Dark

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1: Female] You left a key beneath the stair, A silver tooth of winter air. I heard the old house turn and sigh, As if it knew the reason why. [Verse 2: Male] The garden gate was tied with thread, The roses bowed their paper heads. I crossed the field where bells grew blue, And every path led back to you. [Pre-Chorus: Female] If I lose the road I know, Keep one candle burning low. [Chorus: Duet] Follow me in the dark, Where the sleeping rivers start. Past the orchard, past the moon, I will find my way to you. Follow me, don’t let go— There are places only dreamers know. [Verse 3: Male] A little fox in velvet shoes Led us where the map came loose. You laughed, and all the thorn trees bowed; The stars came down behind a cloud. [Bridge: Female and Male] [Female] If morning takes this silver land, [Male] I’ll keep its flower in my hand. [Female] If every bright thing slips away, [Duet] We’ll know the road by what we gave. [Final Chorus: Duet] Follow me in the dark, Where the sleeping rivers start. Past the orchard, past the moon, I will find my way to you. Follow me, don’t let go— Though the pale dawn steals the road, Follow me, and we will know The way home through the dark. [Outro: Humming choir, celesta and harp]
