If I could find assurance To leave you behind I know my better half would fade And all my doubts Is a staircase for you Opened out of this base The first step is the one you believe in The second one might be profound I'll follow you down to the eye of the storm Don't worry I'll keep you warm I'll follow you down While we are passing through space I don't care if we fall from grace I'll follow you down You can have the money and the world The angels and the pearls Even trade my heart for color blue Just like the tower we never built And the shadow of all the guilt When the other hand was pointing at you Yet the first step is the one you believe in The second one might be profound I'll follow you down to the eye of the storm Don't worry I'll keep you warm I'll follow you down while we are passing through space I don't care if we fall from grace I'll follow you down to where forever lies Without a doubt I'm on your side There is no where else I'd rather be I'm not about to compromise Give you up to say goodbye I've got you through the deep I'll keep you close to me I'll follow you down to the eye of the storm Don't worry I'll keep you warm I'll follow you down While we are passing through space I don't care if we fall from grace I'll follow you If I could find assurance To leave you behind I know my better would fade I'll follow you down
