I’ll follow you down to
Where the green grass grows,
I’ll follow you down to
Where the willow tree branches hang low.
I’ll follow you down to
Where I last saw your smiling face,
I’ll follow you down to
Where we used to call our sacred place.
But you’re not there
And you’re not here,
It seems to me
I’m following your shadow.
But I can’t keep up
And you’re losing me,
Please set me free
From following your memory.
You were the only one
Who ever loved me,
You were the only one
Who ever cared
But now you’ve gone
So far, far away
Hopefully to be back one day.
If you come back home
I won’t be here,
I’ll be gone
Far away
Never to return one day.
So follow me down to
Where the green grass grows,
Follow me down to
Where the willow tree branches hang low.
Follow me down to
Where you last saw my smiling face,
Follow me down to
Where we used to call our sacred place.
But I’m not here
And I’m not there,
It seems to me
You’re following my shadow.
But you can’t keep up
And you’re losing me,
I’ll set you free
From following my memory.
