(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
