If I Follow You

If I follow you from the freeway to the fields
Swallow all my pride and start nipping at your heels
If I follow you from the cedars to the shore
Will you promise not to hurt me anymore

If I follow you from the ashes to the air
Show you evidence that proves how much I care
If I follow you from the delta to dust
Will you promise not to violate my trust in you

[chorus:]
Go your own way if you feel that's what you want
Don't reawaken all the feelings I forgot
My heart is beating but the blood is running numb
So go your own way if you feel the time has come

If I follow you from the meadow to the mines
Inundate you with a million valentines
If I follow you from the forest to the fens
Will you promise not to disappear again

If I follow you from the steeple to the sky
Lose my reticence and look you in the eye
If I follow you from the cradle to the grave
Will you promise not to lose the gifts I gave to you

[chorus]
