STING - Dead Man's Rope lyrics
rate me
A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night And as days turn into weeks and years And years turned into lifetimes I just kept walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black? You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, Walk away in anger, walk away in pain Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain All this wandering has led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness I'm just hanging here in space Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope With hell below me, and heaven in the sky above I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, Walk away in anger, walk away in pain Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain All this wandering has led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness I'm just hanging here in space The shadows fall Around my bed When the hand of an angel, The hand of an angel is reaching down above my bed All this wandering have led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness Now I'm walking in his grace I'm walking in His footsteps Walking in His footsteps, Walking in His footsteps All the days of my life I will walk with you All the days of my life I will talk with you All the days of my life I will share with you All the days of my life I will bear with you Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow, Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, Walk away from anger, walk away from pain Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain (Grazie a Davide per la correzione di questo testo)
