Footprints
(copyright 2008) by Zip Tang

Bubbles rising, through the water
Evidence, there's something down there
As they break, upon the surface
There's nothing left, no further information

The footprints lead to where I took the fall
They show me where I've been
A place I hardly recognize at all
Like someone else's dream

Neon lighting, casts a shadow
Gives me hints of what's behind me
The sun is rising, shadows fading
There's nothing left, no further information

I remember mountain streams
I'm making sense of childhood dreams
The other part I can't recall
Time has just erased it all
The mountains will remain the same
Close your eyes, a child again
I know there was a painful day
But time has washed it all away
