Nature Trails

The Comsat Angels


What it is, heaven knows.
Where the trail leads, well who can say?
Pick up the scent, it's stuck to your skin
Before you know it the chase begins
Nature trails, where she leads
Like a pet at her feet
Don't be sad, you'll be set free tomorrow
Some foreign place or distant shore
Cover the traces, lock all the doors
Those brighter lights confuse the eyes
But there's still one thing you recognize
Nature trails, when she leads
Come on, give up, you're on your knees
One mistake and you'll be there forever
Caught like a leaf in the wind
When Nature trails you had to follow too
Open the door and look inside
It's as you left yet it not quite right
The fading scent says something's wrong
Someone has been here, someone has gone
Nature trails, where she leads
Like a pet at her feet
Don't be sad, you'll be set free tomorrow
Nature trails, when she leads
Come on, give up, you're on your knees
One mistake and you'll be there forever
Caught like a leaf in the wind
