I hear your footsteps, I see your smile,
Feel you near me all the while.
Empty dreams night and day though,
Just castles in the air,
As they fade like an echo,
Leaving silent my despair.

Promises we made along the shore,
There in those crystal pools all we longed for.
How we would race, and laugh and chase,
Gather each shell like some bright jewel.
Who would have thought such love as ours
Would cloud over like some pool?

"Footsteps" - a love-song for our time

But yet I hear your voice, so full of passion,
Still echo "You're the one I love",
But like crystal pools, as the day then cools,
So shadows crept above.
What darkness drifted overhead,
Brought such an empty void instead?
Now you're gone left me alone,
Who's to care for my despair,
Or the balance of my mind?

I hear your footsteps ...

But like crystal pools, as the day then cools,
There's a cloud weighs heavy on my heart.
I hear your footsteps, I hear your voice.
