"Don't Follow Me" lyrics

Don’t Follow Me

 

 

Ch.      Don’t follow me

Don’t try to catch up

I won’t be waiting

Your time is up

Don’t follow me, don’t follow me, don’t follow me,

…your time is up.

 

1.         If leaving you is easy

Then the hard part has yet to come

There’ll be loneliness believe me

And flashbacks of what has gone.

 

2.         But it’s worth it I keep sayin’

‘Cos you’re not one that I knew

When the road ahead is swayin’

And the road behind is you.

 

Ch.      Don’t…

 

3.         And in the years ahead if I look back

I don’t want to know, I don’t want to see

I want the road behind to be empty

With only foot prints left by me.

 

Ch.      Don’t…

About my song

Dermott and I attended ‘An evening with Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt’ in February, and were just blown away with the passion, energy, fun and natural talent of the guys. I left the gig committed to writing something new that captured at least some of what they shared with us. ’Don’t Follow Me’ is the result. It’s pretty well worked out with the band, Dermott on lead vocals, Kieran and Dermott on soaring guitars, John on amazing keyboards and Ian and I bubbling along on drums and bass. But you’ll have to wait for the album to hear the band version! Meanwhile here’s my demo, just to give you a taste. Keep on rockin’, T. October 2010 – in rehearsal for ‘Sub-Zero Heroes’ album by Good Intentions.
