Footprints of the Past
In violet shadows of evening
I pour myself some wine
and let wand'ring mem'ries walk me
down leafy paths of time
I can't help but find traces
where might-have-beens used to be
in the rainy eyes of lovers
I shut my eyes and see
footprints of the past
that seem to go in circles
though I've tried to live for duty
with a sense of purpose
time may stand still a moment
but it won't sit on its hands
so footprints of the past
remain at forever's command
what a gypsy calls fortune
is just a fork in fate
when they were dark and deserted
I've never gone straight
for the scent of adventure
hangs as sweet as hickory
if I say I regret trying
that's just wine's sad trickery
cos footprints of the past
may seem to go in circles
though I've tried to live for duty
with a sense of purpose
time may stand still a moment
but it won't sit on its hands
so footprints of the past
will always show me who I am
when my dreams have traveled
trails of mud and gravel
and leaps of faith seemed to make me fall behind
as I look back on those roads
the Good Lord helped bear my loads
cos I see His footprints next to mine
though footprints of the past
may seem to go in circles
though I've tried to live for duty
with a sense of purpose
time may stand still a moment
but it won't sit on its hands
so footprints of the past
remain at forever's command
(c)2005 Robert George
