Footsteps

Footsteps

Footsteps in the dark

Only love will break your heart

Footsteps, footsteps

Whenever trouble comes around

or lonely nights lead underground

and far in the dark

abandoned cars suddenly start up

an anxious sound

As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark

that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark

Only love will break your heart

Footsteps, footsteps

When loneliness induces fear

like waves against a ramshackle pier

When thunder and rain

scar the windowpane once again

I want you near

As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark

that's all I need

I'm longing to see you

I want you, I need you

Like a child who feels afraid

of the dark at night

hoping to hear a gentle touch

turning on a welcome light

As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark

that's all I need

As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark

that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark

Only love will break your heart

Footsteps, footsteps

Footsteps in the dark

Only love will break your heart

Footsteps, footsteps
