Fading Footsteps |
| Walt Whitman was a hippie, said that nothing could be lost |
| If I only was a half that wise, I wouldn’t be walking to get sauced |
| Whisky |
| Now Mozart was a superstar by the time he made thirteen |
| Sure would hurt my fingers Lord if I had to play that mean |
| Rip it up |
| And I heard old Emerson say no debt will go unpaid |
| But I feel my heart confounding as your cold shoulder turns away |
| Turn away |
| I don’t understand it, but I know what it means |
| Your fading footsteps, when I tell you my dreams |
| Who stood right there beside you when you were so afraid |
| Now I’m crying out to no-one as your footsteps fade |
| Fading footsteps, fade fade fade |
| Fade away |
| Old George he must have talked funny with a mouthful of wooden teeth |
| But a broke down starving army followed that man to victory |
| True Lord |
| Got a shoe string for my supper and a suitcase full of rhymes |
| Suns on hold and a band of gold and I’m looking at hard times |
| Have mercy |
| And I built you a mountain high, castles in the sky |
| Now there they all go falling, and I think that maybe |
| You know why |
| Why why why |
| And I don’t understand it, but I know what it means |
| Your fading footsteps, when I tell you my dreams |
| Who stood right there beside you when you were so afraid |
| Now I’m crying out to no-one as your footsteps fade |
| Fading footsteps, fade fade fade |
| Fade away, fading footsteps, fading away |
| Memories of the times gone by, how they fly |
| Fading footsteps, castles in the sky |
| I wonder why why why why why why why |
| Fading footsteps, fading footsteps |
| Look out, watch it now |
| Mercy, good Lord |
| Fading footsteps |
| Pour whisky |
| Rip it up |
| Ooh ooh ooh |
