sting - dead man's rope lyrics

[verse 1]
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 turn into lifetimes
i just keep 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 gl-ss with a tombstone on your back

[chorus 1]
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

[chorus 2]
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 sp-ce

[verse 2]
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 h-ll below me, and heaven in the sky above
i’ve been walking, i’ve been walking away from jesus’ love

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2]

[bridge]
the shadows fall
around my bed
when the hand of an angel
the hand of an angel is reaching down above my head

[chorus 2]
all this wandering has 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 [x2]

[bridge]
all the days of my life i will walk with you [2x]
all the days of my life i will share with you
all the days of my life i will bear with you

[chorus 1]
