Sting - Dead Man's Rope Lyrics
A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my rightBut I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling nightAnd as days turn into weeks and yearsAnd years turn into lifetimesI just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand yearsWalk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,If you're walking to escape, to escape from your afflictionYou'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addictionDid 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 backWalk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,Walk away in anger, walk away in painWalk away from life itself, walk into the rainAll this wandering has led me to this placeInside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgivenessI'm just hanging here in spaceNow I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hopeYes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's ropeWith Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky aboveI've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' loveWalk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,Walk away in anger, walk away in painWalk away from life itself, walk into the rainAll this wandering has led me to this placeInside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgivenessI'm just hanging here in spaceThe shadows fallAround my bedWhen the hand of an angel,The hand of an angel is reaching down above my headAll this wandering has led me to this placeInside the well of my memory, sweet rain
