Footprints on Water

Easy to say
Nothing matters
Easy to deny
What you’ve been given

But in the darkness
Of the darkness
The acting shatters
And you can’t buy freedom
From yourself

Standing where the river used to flow
All the time
Nowadays it’s only from my eye

Some people swear
You can live forever
All you got to do is
Keep on walking backwards

But in the darkness
Of the darkness
It’s all free falling
And there’s no-one to watch you
Lie to yourself

Standing where the river used to flow
All the time
Nowadays it’s only from my eye
No more bridges
No more wishing wells
No more footprints on the water

I wish I could believe
Without asking why
Don’t want to follow my fate
I don’t want nobody to see me cry

No more bridges to carry me over
