Follow Me
Lyme & Cybelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lids, I just can't keep on going
Now you're mine
Skies are falling, you
Are calling me and I will
Follow behind you
See the rain is softly falling
On my window pane
Don't know where
But I don't care,
I will follow him
Until the stars grow dim
Until the wind has blown away
Hey you, tell me where we're going to
Follow me, follow me, follow me
My head is goin' 'round
My empty wrists are pounding
I don't know what to do
But I will follow you
Wind is cryin', trees
Are sighin', birds are flyin'
Higher now you're mine
Now the night is still,
Wander where you will, and I
Will find you, tell me
Where we're going to
See the rain is softly falling
On my window pane
Don't know where
But I don't care
I will follow him
The lyrics to the song "Follow Me" by Lyme & Cybelle appear to be about a person who is lost and seeking direction. The singer of the song is tired and unable to continue on their own. They are willing to follow the person addressing them, wherever they may lead. The imagery of stars hidden beneath their eyelids suggests that the singer is exhausted to the point of closing their eyes. They are willing to give in to this person and allow themselves to be led. The chorus encourages the listener to follow the singer, who is determined to find this sense of direction and purpose, despite any obstacles.
The second verse of the song seems to deepen the sense of mystery and adventure that characterizes the singer's journey. The world around them is changing, with falling skies and crying winds. Birds are soaring higher, and everything around them seems to be in motion. Despite all of this, the singer is focused on this one person who is able to guide them through the turmoil. The final lines of the verse suggest a sense of hope and determination, with the singer insisting that they will find this person no matter where they wander.

Lyme, none other than the great Warren Zevon. A really great song for 1966. Warren was way ahead of his time. Out of this came all of his great songs he rolled out in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. His roots go back to "The Turtles", whom he also wrote for. A great rocker taken before his time.
Robert Cubinelli
Wow, 1966.....so Zevon is quite old :)
Billy Loomis
and don't forget his time as music director for the everly brothers--- where he first hired waddy-------

Saw them on the Lloyd Thaxton show, Violet had really long blonde
hair and she wore 1920s style knickers. Their blended vocals and
harmony were astounding, never heard anything like it at the time (1966).
I’ve looked forever of the live footage when they were on Lloyd Thaxton
Show, but can’t find it or any other live performance film of them, a pity!

Found this tune thanks to the channel, "Professor of Rock" ... I've been a fan of Warren Zevon for years, but somehow never heard about this early band. This tune is awesome! Great 60's nostalgia... it sounds like the Mamas & The Papas jamming with the Monkees!!
Jim Morrison
Couldn’t find this song for like 3 years I nearly forgot about!!!!! My mind wouldn’t allow it haha too good of a track!
Gary Schneider
Hey Jim, did you sing it when you were with The Doors ... on The Ed Sullivan Show... 🤣✌
