On the Page

[Verse 1]
Follow
The flight of the north-moving birds
Steady
The echo, the great moving herd

[Pre-Chorus]
They fly through the night
Fill their wings and their sights
With cold air and pale shadowed moons
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]
And it'll follow you still
Through the streams and the hills
And remnants of gold autumn leaves
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
