[Finish -                    (X REPEAT)]


Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat

Down cobblestone alleyways of washing day sheets

Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space

Down the road a familiar face


Across the wilderness

Out further than the bush

I will follow you, I will follow you

I will follow you
