Analysis of Follow Home
When I've run around the world
When I've searched up to and fro When I find nowhere to go
Will I come back home to you?
When I'm tired of losing faith
When I've lost all of my ways
When I've seen all I can't change
And I've met all I can face
Will I come back home to you?
Will the legend then come true?
Will I find a place to rest
In the home I know is best
Where I left you stranded there Waiting for me to compare?
How I long to find the perfect shadow
How I wish to settle down at last
When I turn around and see
You're the one that I can follow
Home.
