Follow the Plough lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come with me, Martin, down to the corner
I've got to buy some bread for the boarder
If he was not here, we'd be much poorer
Grandmother's world had an Edwardian order

[Chorus]
And I can remember now
I followed her like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough

[Verse 2]
By the bay window when it was raining
Watching the people on the pink paving
I didn't mind when I had to stay in
Some of my dream were really worth saving

[Chorus]
And I can remember how
I followed them like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough

[Verse 3]
I am much older than you would take me
I am much younger than you can make me
Live in a world of violence and danger
Finding myself the comparative stranger
[Chorus]
When I came to meet you now
I followed you like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough

[Verse 4]
You are devolving, you are behind me
It was predestined that you would find me
Come with me, Martin, down to the corner
Your ancient world has a much older order

[Chorus]
And when I come to see you now
I follow you like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough
