Following In Your Footsteps Lyrics - Singles - Ian Hunter And Mick Ronson

Some folk leave you courage 

Some folk leave you hope 

Why am I out here hangin' 

Like a fool on the end of my rope? 

Some folk leave you wisdom 

Some folk throw you signs 

You can never be sure what went on before 

Life is just a matter of time 

Pictures of you, clouding my view 

I'm following in your footsteps 

Tryin' to make some sense of it all 

Maybe it's a sign of weakness 

But that's where my footsteps fall 

I'm following in your footsteps 

Tryin' to hold on to your dreams 

You never got what you wanted 

So I never got what I need 

I'm following in your footsteps 

'Cos that's where your footsteps lead 

Someone must have left me anger 

Someone must have given me hate 

Or why would I stand here shakin' 

When there's so many chances to take? 

Pictures of you, climb into view 

I'm following in your footsteps 

Tryin' to make some sense of it all 

Well, maybe it's a sign of weakness 

But that's where my footsteps fall 

I'm following in your footsteps 

Watchin' my children grow 

They'll be following in my footsteps 

Takin' it down the road 

We're following in your footsteps 

'Cos that's where your footsteps go 

We're following in your footsteps 

Takin' it down the road 

We're following in your footsteps, yeah 

'Cos that's where your footsteps go
