Dead Mans Rope
Sting
Letra

verse 1

A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right

But I keep walking, from daybreak til the falling night

And as days turn into weeks and years

And years turn into lifetimes

I just keep walking, like I ve been walking for a thousand years

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow

Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow

If you re walking to escape, to escape from your affliction

You d be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction

Did you ever wonder what you d been carrying since the world was black?

You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back





verse 2

Now I m suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope

Yes I ve been walking, now I m hanging from a dead man s rope

With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above

I ve been walking, I ve been walking away from Jesus love





Bridge

The shadows fall

Around my bed

When the hand of an angel

The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head



Bridge

All the days of my life I will walk with you 2x

All the days of my life I will share with you

All the days of my life I will bear with you
