Footsteps lyrics
by George Clinton
[Chorus]
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps
[Verse 2]
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
[Interlude]
I'm longing to see you
I want you, I need you
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps
