lyrics

When I first set eyes on you
When I first set eyes on you
You put a seed in my fallow heart
You put a seed in and something grew
So, I had to make you mine
So, I had to make you mine
In the profane world or the divine
I had to have you or die trying

If I scale this chapel wall
If I scale this chapel wall
Will you be there for my wicked fall?
Will you be there for my wicked fall?
Will we run until we’re found?
Are we going to run until we’re found?
‘Cause if I get out of this holy town
They’re going to run me into the ground

Follow me, follow me, don’t ask why
Follow me, follow me, close your eyes
Follow me, follow me, don’t ask why

Have I lived my life in grace?
Have I lived my life in grace?
Or have I laid it all to waste?
Have I laid it all to waste?

Have I lived my life asleep?
Have I lived my life asleep?
Playing a midwife to chapel trees
When none of the apples are mine to keep

Follow me, follow me, don’t ask why
Follow me, follow me, close your eyes
Follow me, follow me, don’t ask why
Follow me, follow me, close your eyes
Follow me, don’t ask why

You know I’d lay down and die, you by my side
Queen of the wasteland, king of the wild
You know I’d lay down and die, you by my side
Queen of the wasteland, king of the wild
