Footsteps - Alison Moyet

It won’t be clean and easy

There’s more to carry than a case or two

I come with a history that I won’t forget in a life with you

This man’s been true to me and I didn’t come by him easy

Shame shame crying shame

Losing more than a family name

Don’t let your footsteps falter

You’re gonna get wet if you dip in the water

Be sure what you take me for and I won’t ever want for more

Don’t let your footsteps fail me You’re gonna get sunk if you slip on the way

When I say that the time is right

Go walk this mother out of sight

I didn’t plan to meet you now here I am on the roundabout

See the road where I lived my life

If I go with you there’s no turning back

I’m tired and I ain’t proud but I want your more than I ever have

Tell me baby, did you think about it?

It won’t be young and pretty

Look around you, you know it Ain’t nothing new for me I don’t get fooled so easy

What’s good ain’t gonna be fine six months on down the line

Shame shame crying shame

Losing more than a family name

Have you found it?

Did you find what you’re looking for?

You know you change your mind and it’s a waste of time

And heaven only knows you’ll be on your own
