Footprints Filled With Rain by Stone Breath Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2003

Is that water in your eyes?
Is it sand in your eyes?
Is it wind in your eyes
Or my footprints in their stride?

I saw the rain falling from my sister
I saw my mother with pools in her eyes
I saw my lover and the sorrows I've caused her
Flowing like a river from somewhere inside

It's a well-worn path, yet each step I find
So starkly defined in its misstepped way
Each footstep I've taken, so sadly mistaken
Has tread a harrowed path of pain

Deep in the forest, so deep in these sorrows
I'm lost and afraid but the darkness won't part
O mother earth, o sister earth
Sweet lover earth, I've blackened your heart

Each footprint I've made, both bloody and tainted
Has thoroughly weighed like Hell's debt on thee
The greatest sin of all my grave sins:
You've walked this path just to be beside me
