Sting - Dead Man's Rope - Текст песни

A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right 

But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night 

And as days turn into weeks and years 

And years turned into lifetimes 

I just kept walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years 


Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, 

Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, 


If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction 

You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction 

Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black? 

You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back 


Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, 

Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, 

Walk away in anger, walk away in pain 

Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain 


All this wandering has led me to this place 

Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness 

I'm just hanging here in space 


Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope 

Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope 

With hell below me, and heaven in the sky above 

I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love 


Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow, 

Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, 

Walk away in anger, walk away in pain 

Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain 


All this wandering has led me to this place 

Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness 

I'm just hanging here in space


The shadows fall 

Around my bed 

When the hand of an angel, 

The hand of an angel is reaching down above my bed 


All this wandering have led me to this place 

Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness 

Now I'm walking in his grace 

I'm walking in His footsteps 

Walking in His footsteps, 

Walking in His footsteps 


All the days of my life I will walk with you 

All the days of my life I will talk with you 

All the days of my life I will share with you 

All the days of my life I will bear with you 


Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow, 

Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow, 

Walk away from anger, walk away from pain 

Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain
