lyrics
No Footprints in the sand
The days are colder and the nights drawn in
No barricades of comfort, now the aching will begin
I'm running down an unlit corridor
Pain can chase me, but I head out through an open door
And you won't find a clearer path today
If you turn your back on the future, try to run away
And, there are times when you can plan your day
But the tide will turn and wash your wishes away
But, I can see the warning signs ahead
They don't deter me, they draw me on instead
And I should say that we can choose a tougher path
'cause the path of least resistance was never going to last
Walk with me, I'll take you by the hand
Can't promise anything like a promised land
But, I’ll give you love, though nothing's planned
So walk with me, leave just our footprints in the sand
Summer comes around and the days are long
I thought I'd moved on, but something feels so wrong
And there you're kneeling with your head in your hands
Can't believe we found ourselves in this foreign land
Though I could see the warning signs ahead
They didn't stir me to turn away instead
And though I said that we should choose a tougher path
The path of least resistance was never at our backs
The days are colder and the nights drawn in
No barricades of comfort, now the aching will begin
I'm running down an unlit corridor
Pain can chase me, but I head out through an open door
And you won't find a clearer path today
If you turn your back on the future, try to run away
And, there are times when you can plan your day
But the tide will turn and wash your wishes away
But, I can see the warning signs ahead
They don't deter me, they draw me on instead
And I should say that we can choose a tougher path
'cause the path of least resistance was never going to last
Walk with me, I'll take you by the hand
Can't promise anything like a promised land
But, I’ll give you love, though nothing's planned
So walk with me, leave just our footprints in the sand
Summer comes around and the days are long
I thought I'd moved on, but something feels so wrong
And there you're kneeling with your head in your hands
Can't believe we found ourselves in this foreign land
Though I could see the warning signs ahead
They didn't stir me to turn away instead
And though I said that we should choose a tougher path
The path of least resistance was never at our backs
