Squeeze - Footprints lyrics

rate me

(Difford/Tilbrook)

I spent too much money, I looked far too glad

Now I have so little of what I once had

I had too many parties I had too much time

I got so lazy and fell well behind

Now the summer is over I can count the cost

Footprints on the beaches are now

Footprints in the frost

The summer is over I can count the cost

Footprints on the beaches are now footprints in the frost

We did so much damage deep in our insides

The party's over it's going home time

The cathedral is empty, no one's at home

Winter's approaching paradise postponed

Now the summer is over I can count the cost

Footprints on the beaches are now footprints in the frost,

The rain won't stop falling and the people look lost

Footprints on the beaches are now footprints in the frost.

I rang lots of numbers and walked many miles

I watched the Flintstones and I turned my dial

To a brand new station where the beat comes in

Now it's all over the winter begins

The summer is over I can count the cost

Footprints on the beaches are now footprints in the frost

People with umbrellas disappear in the fog

Footprints on the beaches are now footprints in the frost
