The boat starts rocking as the sea goes blue to grey The whole crew sinking, I'm flying away I'll pray to the Heavens and The Pearly Gates To save this dark from a dying day Oh, don't make me follow you down I'd pick up the pieces you've thrown We're a bond that can't break, a ship that won't sink Just don't make me follow you down 'Cause I'd follow you down My body goes weak when I think of that night Your heads in your hands Mind on the light I'd carry that weight 'til the day that I die So I say this five times before I close my eyes Oh, don't make me follow you down I'd pick up the pieces you've thrown We're a bond that can't break, a ship that won't sink Just don't make me follow you down 'Cause I'd follow you down Don't make me speak through the sky You're my blood, you're my light, you're my guide Don't make me speak through the sky I don't know what I'd make of that life No I don't know what I'd make of that life Don't make me follow you down I'll pick up the pieces you've thrown We're a bond that can't break, a ship that won't sink Just don't make me follow you down 'Cause I'd follow you down I'd follow you down Oh, I'd follow you down
