As The Footsteps Die Out Forever Lyrics - Keasbey Nights - Catch 22

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 

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"
