Capo: 4 Follow me gently, With nothing to prevent me. Clouds cover the sun, And something's begun. I'll go gently. Whisper your fears I'm close now, I can hear The wind changes it's course And blows against us Tell me your fears A mother in labour Her child now pains her She's been carrying him Seven months but no longer You can't tell her now What doesn't kill you makes you stronger The worst things in life, scars you can't hide, wouldn't want to. Things you can't touch, see or hear won't disappear Follow me gently into the great white fear Follow me gently into the great white fear These fascinations These aspirations You don't want to see them Then unsee them as they go Because love is a sickness Too many times I have witnessed As people fall blindly to their graves As people fall blindly to their fate Follow me gently Darling please end the Rapture that's been rattling in my mind Wipe from my face these dying thoughts in my tears Follow me gently into the great white fear Follow me gently into the great white fear
