Following In Your Footsteps Lyrics

(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
