If you follow the yellow lights

If you follow the yellow lights
bottles will fall before your feet
strangers will wonder who you are
but you and they will never meet

If you follow the yellow lights
you’ll wake up in a dream
and see the distant gleams
like a needle in your eye

If you follow the yellow lights
you’ll end up where you started
and something will have changed
but you won’t know what it is

If you follow the yellow lights
time becomes a window
to the quiet sleeping world
and your breath fogs the glass

If you follow the yellow lights
you’ll have to make a choice
between the yellow lights
and the ones you can’t quite see

If you follow the yellow lights
I’ll finally hear your voice
Follow the yellow lights
and you’ll be the same as me
