Story Behind The Song
A friend of mine who was being followed by an ex-boyfriend (with less dramatic consequences), told me that he said to her "I just want to see your face" which gave me the key line to the song, and the concept grew from there...

Lyrics
STALKER
I will follow your every move; I just want to see your face
Maybe that?s why I act so smooth; I don?t want to invade your space
I love you and you don?t know; Nothing ignites your fear
Red roses will slowly grow; For one that I hold so dear
CHORUS:
I follow you round, my face to the ground
Hoping you won?t see me
Hidden from sight, I keep out of the light
The door that you just walked through; Is now swinging ajar for me
I?m one step behind it?s true; But I?ll never let you see
The shadows are close and dark; Get closer and let me smell
What right have you got to laugh? When I?m in my own private hell
CHORUS
Now your life?s in my hands; Just like mine was in yours
You tell me we never can; I?ll love you for evermore
CHORUS
