Then I go quiet like the rain It's never the right time when you go Of all of the love I gave I wanted it back from you the most All the papers say I'm following a distant sail Like you, lady, I'm just picking up a paper trail that I'm gonna follow Remember the taste of river mouth The crossing of Earth by star and stealth Of all of the empires I built As you fell, my dear, the dawn sung out and I shed all my doubt All the papers say I'm following a distant sail Like you, lady, I'm just picking up a paper trail that I'm gonna follow Arms extended liberty The way she looked at you, you thought you heard God's call to enmity Of all of the moments left to be It's now, my love, the time is now, Lord, come and gather me All Lord's little children can't come in That's the way it's always been Call it what you will, I call it sin All Lord's little children The devil you pay The chosen have been chosen Don't try to tame me All empires, they must fall You lead, I'll follow You lead and I'll follow You lead and I'll follow All empires, they must fall
