This week’s song from Looking For Buildings is “Follow,” an oddly bouncy song about a broken relationship. Well, you know, I always had a thing for that bouncy minor key like in “Happy Together”…
The past is a foreign land so this was far away
When we two met by accident and jumped into the fray
He expected to meet someone else and so in fact did I
It was years ago December and the snow was falling down
We laughed and fell together and made angels on the ground
Who needs to take vacation when you’ve got the warmth of two
And soon the rest would follow
Chorus:
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
It was closer to a blizzard than I ever thought I’d see
We took forever vows among our friends and family
We left together for a honeymoon in sunny climes
And soon the rest would follow
Chorus:
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
It was snowing hard again on another winter day
I asked him where he’ d been and he didn’t want to say
His body was still here but his eyes were far away
And soon the rest would follow
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
The year turns round
the snow returns over and again
And soon the rest will follow
And soon the rest will follow
And soon the rest will follow
