You can go where you may
But I'll follow you
Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know
I'll be waiting there
You can stray out of sight
'Cause I'll follow you
Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know
I'll be waiting there
See you strong in the failing light
Just as strong, late at night
You can't lose my trail on you
Just you try, just you try
See me now, lost me now
But I'll follow you
Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know
I'll be waiting there
See you strong in the failing light
Just as strong late at night
You can't lose my trail on you
Just you try, just you try
You can go where you may
I'll follow you
Wherever you go
Just turn around and you know
I'll be waiting there
