Catch 22 - As The Footsteps Die Out Forever lyrics

rate me

She was diagnosed on a Friday

the kids were almost home

the kids were on their way

back home from school

lying face down in the gutter

of unaccomplished dreams and broken memories

of things to come

"sorry ma'am I really am

I had to break the news

I had to make the phone call to tell you

that you're due you know where

I'll tell you when and I suggest you start living

these next three weeks the best way that you can"

every night for three long weeks

she'd roam the hallways half asleep

and as the footsteps fade away in my mind

I could swear

I could swear

I heard her say

don't wait for me I've got a lot to do

I've got a lot to be and in the end

maybe I'll see you there

lost her strength on a Saturday

spent the day in bed

yeah I'm fine it's just the flu

she said with a smile

but when they turned their backs

the tears would flow

she knew she only had a while to live

to breath to be to see to bleed to stand

on her own two weakened feet

"and so I pray everyday

don't take my mother away"

every night for three long weeks

she'd roam the hallways half asleep

and as the footsteps fade away in my mind

I could swear

I could swear

I heard her say

don't wait for me I've got a lot to do

I've got a lot to be and in the end

maybe I'll see you there

every night for three long weeks

she'd roam the hallways half asleep

and as the footsteps fade away in my mind

I could swear

I could swear

I heard her say

don't wait for me I've got a lot to do

I've got a lot to be

But in the end maybe I'll see you there

and in the end you know I'll see you there

and in the end I'll see you there

don't wait for me I've got a lot to do

I've got a lot to be and in the end

maybe I'll see you there
