I would like to follow you awhile
you go on ahead for awhile
I would like to just follow you awhile
and I'd like to watch the white flash of your heels as they take turns
breaking the desert heat to beckon me in languages I've never learned
and I'd like to have you navigate to hills where no musicians live

and you've got to wait
and you've got to wait for me
and I will appear before you virgin white if virgin's are still chaste
then I'd like to just follow you awhile

and reflections on the water of a burning yellow sphere
and the days add up to weeks add up to months
and add up
and add up to years
