Lyrics
- Footprints -
IF I TURN, I'LL SEE MY FOOTPRINTS
SHY OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR
THE DOORSTEP THAT I LEFT - NOT LONG AGO
AND IF I COME THIS WAY AGAIN
I'LL VISIT YOU FOR SURE
AND BIRDS WILL SING AS THEY DO NOW
OUR LONELY LULLABY
AND BIRDS WILL SING AS I DO NOW
YOUR ONLY LULLABY
----
YOU GAVE ME ALL THOSE THINGS
I COULDNT DARE TO DREAM
TOGETHER AS TIME EMBRACED THIS SOIL
PURE LOVE - ETERNAL HOURS
EMBODIED IN OUR GLOW
WE MELTED ALL THE MOON WHITE SNOW
TO FEED THE SPRINGTIME LEAVES
YOUR WARMTH RELEASED MY FROZEN SOUL
AND IT ECHOES ON THE BREEZE
----
BUT AS THE TIME DREW OLDER, OUR FATE DREW OLDER TOO
THE SKIES WENT DARK, AND FORTUNE CHANGED ITS MIND
THE WEAK BECAME THE HARDEST
GOOD HARVEST TURNED TO HATE
OUR HOME BECAME A FRAGILE REALM
AND LOVE OUR SECRET PAIN
I FORGOT TO SPEAK YOUR NAME
AND WE LIVED ON IN SHAME
BRIDGE
YES YEARS WENT BY AND LEFT US
WITH DEATH AND MISERY
PEOPLE FOUGHT FOR POWER AND FOR GOLD
AS YOU STOOD DEFIANTLY
I COULDN'T SAVE YOUR SOUL
THEY SAY YOUR EYES WERE STRONG AND PROUD
AS ONCE OUR SWEET LOVE WAS
THEY SAY AS ROSES DARK AND RED
THE BLOOD UPON YOUR BED
----
I FIND MY WAY THROUGH THESE DEEP WOODS
STILL HIDING IN THE DARK
I KEEP YOUR NAME AWAY FROM THOSE WHO FIGHT
AND WHEN THE WAR IS OVER
I'LL GIVE YOUR GRAVE A MARK
AND IT WILL TELL OF WARMTH AND GRACE
AS WELL AS SOLITUDE
ALTHOUGH LONELY NOW AM I
MY HEART LIVES STILL WITH YOU
BRIDGE
IF I TURN, I'LL SEE MY FOOTPRINTS
SHY OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR
THE DOORSTEP THAT I LEFT - NOT LONG AGO
AND IF I COME THIS WAY AGAIN
I'LL VISIT YOU FOR SURE
AND BIRDS WILL SING AS THEY DO NOW
OUR LONELY LULLABY
AND BIRDS WILL SING AS I DO NOW
YOUR ONLY LULLABY
