Lyrics
Following Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
somebody's following, following me.
somebody's following, following me.
look in his eyes, this man, he'll tell you nothing,
you'll have to do what he says if you.
look in his eyes, this man, it's no use running,
i know i mustn't look back at him.
(somebody's following, following me),
i feel a chill that runs straight to the bone.
(somebody's following, following me),
i've never felt so alone.
and i know that i'm not mistaken,
(there's been another young girl he's taken).
if i happen to take just one look in his eyes,
he will turn me to ice, oh why can't i run away.
something is stopping me running away.
look in his eyes, this man, you'd never know it,
he'll own your body and soul if you.
look in his eyes, this man, i mustn't show it,
i mustn't show that i'm scared of him.
(somebody's following, following me),
i feel his breath on the back of my hair.
(somebody's following, following me),
and there's fear in the air.
and i know that i'm not mistaken,
(there's been another young girl he's taken).
if i happen to take just one look in his eyes,
he will turn me to ice, oh why can't i run away.
what is it stopping me running away.
