Devotion
RÜFÜS DU SOL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drive up the coastline
Stop by the shore
To stare at the ocean
Wait
Wait for a calling
A call from the ocean to lead me away
Lead me away
Lead me away
Lead me away
Lead me away
I'll fly over the mountains
Into the night sky
On the horizon
I'll dive into the ocean
Wherever you go
I'll follow you there
Waves
Crash on the shoreline
Kissing the sand
The sound of devotion
Stay
Stay in the moment
Surrender your heart and lead me away
Lead me away
Lead me away
Lead me away
Lead me away
I'll fly over the mountains
Into the night sky
On the horizon
I'll dive into the ocean
Wherever you go
I'll follow you there
Love me, love me
Don't ever leave me, leave me
If you want me there, me there
Don't ever leave me, leave me
Love me, love me
Don't ever leave me, leave me
If you want me there, me there
Don't ever leave me
I'll fly over the mountains
Into the night sky
On the horizon
I'll dive into the ocean
Wherever you go
I'll follow you there
Love me, love me
Don't ever leave me, leave me
If you want me there, me there
Don't ever leave me, leave me
I'll fly over the mountains
Wherever you go
I'll follow you there
