Lyrics

(Ian hunter/mick ronson)

Some folk leave courage
Some folk leave you hope
Why am I out here hangin'
Like a fool at the end o' my rope
Some folk leave you wisdom
Some folk leave you signs
You can never be sure
What went on before
Life is just a matter of time

Picture of you
Clouding my view
I'm following in your footsteps
Tryin' to make some sense of it all
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
But that's where my footsteps fall
I'm following in your footsteps
Tryin' to hang on to your dreams
You never got what you wanted
So I never got what I need
I'm following in your footsteps
'Cos that's where the footsteps lead

Someone must have given me anger
Someone must have given me hate
Or why would I stand here shakin'
When there's so many chances to take

Pictures of you
Climb into view
I'm following in your footsteps
Tryin' to make some sense of it all
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
But that's where my footsteps fall

I'm following in your footsteps
Watchin' my children grow
They're following in my footsteps
Takin' it on the road
We're following in your footsteps
'Cos that's where the footsteps go
We're following in your footsteps, yeah
'Cos that's where your footsteps go
