Dead Man's Rope Lyrics - Sacred Love - Sting

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 turn into lifetimes 

I just keep 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 head

All this wandering has 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 anger, walk away from pain 

Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain.
