There was a walk I took
When I was younger,
And love held my hand.
Crossing the Pyrenees barefoot and carefree,
I felt everything.
But your eyes were empty.
I remember when the rain came.
All the pain I carried,
Fell away behind me.
My footprints heartshaped in the mud,
Soaking deep into my soul.
You walked without a trace.
Something told me this was it.
I had dreams
Wider than the sky.
And you closed your heart
To all my love.
While I tried to fly,
You kept walking.
You kept walking;
That's all you could do.
So, oh I took that flight across the seven seas.
Hungry, I ate the world up.
I took my love with me.
You kept walking.
You kept walking.
That's all you knew how to do.
A journey into the light and darkness.
And I'm just beginning, baby.
Somewhere out there
I'll live my dreams.

My footprints heartshaped in the mud,
Soaking deep into my soul.

And I'm just beginning, baby.
