Bound to Follow (Aisling Song) - Paul Kelly, Kate Miller-Heidke

I woke up with the dread, a stranger by my bed

The room was cold, I swear she’d entered with no tread

'Are you real?'

I said, 'Or just somebody in my head?'

She said, 'Hush now, you must follow.'

Next thing I recall I’m walking by a silver lake

I couldn’t tell if I was dreaming or awake

She kept just ahead of me no matter how I tried to gain on her

I knew I was bound to follow

I had to follow

You, you must go

With me down below

Down below

All night long I trailed, following her shape

My one and only wish to look upon her face

Though I seemed to be the hunter

I was much more like the prey

And I was bound to follow

I had to follow

You, you must go

With me down below

Down below

She comes to visit me now more and more these days

One night she’ll wait for dawn by the silver lake

She’ll lift her veil and show her face and take me in her cold embrace

And to the bottom, I will follow

I will follow

You, you will go

With me down below

Down below
