Em | 022000Am Wherever we go, we'll never be lost Some follow the compass rose, some follow the crossC Me, I follow roads compulsively, till sirens call me offEm Then I wander, eyes closed, following songsAm This rivers a hymnal, the leaves are applause The trees sing in whispers, with the wind pulling their armsC Hold still, and listen, your hand on my heartEm If you need them, these beacons will lead you back to the start YupAm No ax has seen these woods since before your father stood The path is beaten good from the feet of all who wandered through itC Old growth, holds hope, let the brambles scrape your skinEm Scars are storybooks, blood will wash away your sinsAm Now let that sun slip, then let that moon rise Follow in no footsteps, listen for the true guidesC Woods will play tricks upon pretty blue eyesEm Is that glimmer the river, or your village finally broughtAm back to life? Follow me tonight, I'll show youC what's it likeEm To be aliveContinues after the adAm I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets,C We know the unknown, know the unknownEm Know the unknownAm Keep close, hold my hand now, just be strong We can follow this river rightC back to your home Back to your homeEm Back to your homeAm At the palace in Versilles, 400 years before this day They're packing up supplies, preparing for a long tripC They may not survive, but many of them know thisEm They would rather die, than to leave the question openAm So this is why we try? We bet it all on hopeless? And swim against the tide till until our every bone is brokenC A sinking ship is still a ship, no captain spoke the obitEm Till the crew is flew, crow's nest slips silent beneath the oceanAm We set sail without an anchor, we count upon that, never stop An anchor's just a coffin nail, waiting for that hammer dropC It holds you by the ankles till it pulls you to the AcheronEm Trade stable to be able to slip out from under devil's thumbAm Keep your anchors, my home is where my hat is hung Postcard printed paper, and love notes from the lattice rungsC Blessed are the vagrant, the lonely are the static onesEm It's every drifter's confirmation this world is just ravishingAm I know it seems like we're all lost, we can follow thisC river back home River back homeEm River back homeAm I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets,C we know the unknown Know the unknownEm Know the unknownAm Keep close, hold my hand now, just be strong We can follow this river rightC back to your home Back to your homeEm Back to your homeAm I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets,C we know the unknown Know the unknownEm Know the unknown
