Blinded by the finery   so much that I couldn't see   footprints of the fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door      could hit a baseball a country mile   could finally make my mother smile   jealous glances in the neighborhood   a full head taller where I stood      Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door   Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door      Ice cream ball games on summer nights   escaping the tenements taking flight   young kid and I had it made   like a cool drink in the summer shade      Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door   Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door      Then it all started to come undone   like storm clouds overtaking the sun   and the rain fell down like the end of the world   and left an infant in a fetal curl      Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door   Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door      Darling can you hold me in the night   but please make sure it's not too tight   just until the trembling ends   then I'll try to go to sleep again      How many landlords how many jobs   how many bottles how many sobs   how many snapshots in my head   how many living and how many dead      Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door   Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door      after he took away what's mine   they just placed him on an assembly line   another parish in another town   another child in the lost and found      Darling can you hold me in the night   but please make sure it's not too tight   just until the trembling ends   then I'll try to go to sleep again      Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door   Footprints of the Fisherman on my floor   God's right hand breaking down the door
