Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

Whenever [bad word] around
or lonely nights lead underground
and far in the dark
abandoned cars suddenly start up
an anxious sound
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

When loneliness induces fear
like waves against a ramshackle pier
When thunder and rain
scar the windowpane once again
I want you near
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

I'm longing to see you
I want you, I need you

Like a child who feels afraid
of the dark at night
hoping to hear a gentle touch
turning on a [bad word] light
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
