I take the first

train to the heart of the flower
Now on the train: this is the end of my day
I feel my spirits escape like a musical clock that’s dying away
I turn once again and wave my hand and say goodbye
I never thought it’s so easy, I never thought it’s so easy...
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
The heart of the flower

ONE STEP BEHIND YOU
(Tim Whelan)
I’m moving, I’m not going to rest till I find you
I’m following one step behind, I’ll do what I’ll do to remind you
I’m following one step...
I’ve been keeping strange hours, I’ve been saying strange things
I’ve been places where I should not go
But I catch conversations that feature your name
And my ears and my eyes never close
I’ve been all of the places where you used to be
But your friends don’t remember my face
I don’t know if you wonder what’s happening to me
I don’t vanish that easy I’ll make you believe me...
I’m moving, I’m not going to rest till I find you...
Did the voice sound familiar on the landing below
Are the footsteps behind you like mine
You’re a thought in my head I could never let go
And that thought takes up all of my time
Swallowed up by obsessions that can’t be denied
I can’t find out what’s right and what’s wrong
Swallowed up by the whirlpools of colours in the night
Oh, please show me no mercy, my reason deserts me...
I’m moving...
