Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
Whenever trouble comes around
or lonely nights lead underground
and far in the dark
abandoned cars suddenly start up
an anxious sound
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
When loneliness induces fear
like waves against a ramshackle pier
When thunder and rain
scar the windowpane once again
I want you near
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need
I'm longing to see you
I want you, I need you
Like a child who feels afraid
of the dark at night
hoping to hear a gentle touch
turning on a welcome light
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
