STING lyrics : "Dead Man's Rope"


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 glass with a tombstone on your back


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

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 space


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 Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above

I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love

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


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 space

The shadows fall

Around my bed
When the hand of an angel,
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head


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,

Walking in his footsteps

All the days of my life I will walk with you

All the days of my life I will talk with you
All the days of my life I will share with you
All the days of my life I will bear with you


Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,

Walk away from anger, walk away from pain
Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain.
