    Story Behind the Song
    This took ages to write.

    It's a song about the fear of dying. Ferg, who wrote the lyrics, was going to meet up with his lecturer’s daughter in South America, whom he’d never met before but had heard a lot about. Unfortunately she died in a white water rafting accident just before he left and her body was never recovered.

    Lyrics
    Said that I'd go away
    Some kind of holiday
    Follow these footsteps, but find

    I just want to hide away
    Tell some white lies today
    Can't face the thought that you died

    Just like that film we saw
    Capricorn 34
    The hero stole out the back door

    But I'm trying to get closer to
    Someone I never knew
    Someone that I'll never know

    Touch down
    Nobody around
    If you got no wings
    You'll hit the ground

    Touch down
    Nobody around
    Nobody there to meet me
    No one to meet me
    No one to meet me

    Touch down
    I'll turn around
    Gonna follow in
    Your trodden ground

    Touch down
    I'll turn around
    Won't let this fear defeat me
    Won't defeat me
    No, no, no, no, no
    You won't defeat me

    You were washed down stream
    We beat Jesus
    Staying down
    It did not please us

    Washed down stream
    We beat Jesus
    By one

    Washed down stream
    We beat Jesus
    The high tail winds
    It did not please us

    Words of warning
    Washed down stream
    Because a moments strong
    Will not defeat us

    Washed down stream
    We beat Jesus
    Washed down stream
    We beat Jesus by one
