Footsteps Lyrics - Alison Moyet

It won't be clean and easy 

There's more to carry than a case or two 

I come with a history 

That I won't forget in a life with you 

This man's been true to me 

And I didn't come by him easy 

Shame, shame crying shame 

Losing more than a family name 

Don't let your footsteps falter 

You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water 

Be sure what you take me for 

And I won't ever want for more 

Don't let your footsteps fail me 

You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way 

When I say that the time is right 

Go walk this mother out of sight

I didn't plan to meet you 

Now here I am on a roundabout 

See the road where I lived my life 

If I go with you there's no turning back 

I'm tired and I ain't proud 

But I want you more than I ever have 

Tell me baby 

Did you think about it? 

It won't be young and pretty 

Look around you, you know it 

Ain't nothing new for me 

I don't get fooled so easy 

What's good ain't gonna be fine 

Six months on down the line 

You know shame, shame crying shame 

Losing more than a family name

Don't let your footstep falter 

You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water 

Be sure what you take me for 

And I won't ever want for more 

Don't let your footsteps fail me 

You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way 

When I say that the time is right 

Go walk this mother out of sight 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Don't let your footsteps falter 

You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water 

Be sure what you take me for 

And I won't ever want for more 

Don't let your footsteps fail me 

You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way 

When I say that the time is right 

Go walk this mother out of sight 

Oh, have you found it? 

Did you find what you're looking for? 

You know you change your mind 

And it's a waste of time 

And heaven only knows 

You'll be on your own 

Don't let your footsteps falter 

You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water 

Be sure what you take me for 

And I won't ever want for more 

Don't let your footsteps fail me 

You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way 

When I say that the time is right 

Go walk this mother out of sight
