Alison Moyet - Footsteps

It wont be clean and easy

There's more to carry than a case or two

I come with a history that I wont 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 wont 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 the time is right

Go walk this mother out of sight



I didn't plan to meet you now here I am on a roundabout

See the road where I lived my life

If I go with you there's no turning back

I'm tired and I aint proud but I want you more than I ever have

Tell me baby, did you think about it?



It wont be young and pretty

Look around you, you know it

Aint nothing new for me I don't get fooled so easy

What's good aint 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
