Like a cat,
Dragged in from the rain.
Who goes straight back out,
To do it all over again.
I'll be back for more.
It's something,
That is out of our hands.
Something we will never understand,
It's a hidden law,
The apple falls.
Destiny calls,
I follow you.
Like a pawn,
On the eternal board.
Who's never quite sure,
What he's moved towards.
I walk blindly on,
And heaven is in front of me.
Your heaven beckons me enticingly,
When I arrive.
It's gone,
The river flows.
The wise man knows,
I follow you.
I'm yearning,
I'm burning.
I feel love's wheels turning.
Like a moth, on love's bright light,
I will get burned.
Each and every night,
I'm dying to(o).
The sun will shine.
The bottom line,
I follow you.
I'm yearning,
I'm burning.
I feel love's wheels turning.
Like a moth, on love's bright light,
I will get burned.
Each and every night,
I'm dying to (o).
The sun will shine.
The bottom line,
I follow you.
The sun will shine.
The bottom line,
I follow you.
The sun will shine. (Descending lead over)
The bottom line,
I follow you.
The sun will shine. (Descending lead over)
The bottom line,
I follow you.

NOTES:
1. In 1999, Ned Raggett (US music journalist) ranked the album at number 50 on his list of "The Top 136
Or So Albums Of The Nineties".
2. This version is based on my experience of DM's 'dark' tunings and how Martin Gore matches them to suit
David Gahan's voice.
3. Despite, Gahan's prolonged absences from the studio we are all indebted that Gore persisted to make
this milestone album.
"...Despite Gahan's increasingly severe personal problems, Gore tried repeatedly during 1995 and 1996 to get
the band recording again. However, Gahan would rarely turn up to scheduled sessions, and when he did,
it would take weeks to get any vocals recorded. ..."
