Ian Hunter
Following In Your Footsteps
(Ian Hunter/Mick Ronson)
Some folk leave courage,
some folk leave you hope
Why am I out here hangin`
like a fool at the end o` my rope
Some folk leave you wisdom,
some folk leave you signs
You can never be sure
what went on before
Life is just a matter of time
Picture 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 hang 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 the footsteps lead
Someone must have given 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
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`re following in my footsteps
Takin` it on the road
We`re following in your footsteps
`cos that`s where the footsteps go
We`re following in your footsteps, yeah
`cos that`s where your footsteps go
