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
