Lyrics

I will understand you,
I will serve you well.
I’ll suffer when you leave me,
stand out in parallel.
And I will recognise you
when you're lost to yourself,
just to be the one
you call in.

I will raise an army,
I will gather strength.
I’ll follow where you lead me,
I’ll go through anything.
And I will heed your warning,
and sound your victory bell,
just to be the one
you call in.

And for the first time
you were dark,
caught out on a western swell,
swept apart.
And we watched as their
bodies danced
towards the rocks,
to the rocks.

I will recognise you
when you're lost to yourself,
just to be the one
you call in.
Just to be the one
you call in.
