Ian Hunter - 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
