Footprints
Bill Callahan
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
last summer's footprints are walkin'
walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove
through last summer's sand
a dove walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove
and where the footprints end
where the footprints end
what happened then where the footprints end?
was not a wave that swallowed them
o gust of wind that did them so
o, where the footprints end
we must have flown!
yea we must have flown over tempting sea
we must have flown heavier than air
our heart and brain, the odd couple lookin' at rings
the sea above, the sky below
we must have flown where the footprints end
and when we realize we can't fly
will we say "do you think we must have danced up into the sky?"
last summer's footprints are walkin'
walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove
through last summer's sand
