lyrics:
there’s a fence to jump, maybe four feet high
and though it’s clothed in thorns,
i’m waiting for you on the other side.
once you’ve cleared the fence, there’s a mile or two
to reach the closest town,
but once we’re there you’ll never have to hide.
so follow me dear.
don’t you stop to catch your breath
and don’t let your fear slow you down
or keep you looking over your shoulder.
you might tear your clothes
while you jump the fence,
before you’ve cleared the thorns.
but it won’t matter where we’re going to go.
so follow me dear.
don’t you stop to catch your breath
and don’t let your fear slow you down
or keep you looking over your shoulder.
