Nick Harper Follow

There never was

I travelled worlds to meet you
Through the cracks in the ticks
Of the classroom clocks
On an island hanging in the sky
Made of fine hourglass sand

As I journey on
I try to be where I am
Let it all follow on
And do the best that I can
But of all the places I go
I've only really been where we played
And I hope you know
I want to come and stay
Hey babe
There never was
Will ever be

Imagination feels you
Sees the smack of our lips
Through the keyless locks
In a parallel eternity
In between each sweep
Of the second hand

As I journey on
I try to be where I am
Let it all follow on
Do the best that I can
But of all the places I go
I've only really been where we played
I know you know
I want to come and stay
Hey babe hey
There never was
Will ever be
