Bill Callahan – Footprints Lyrics

Last summer's footprints are walkin'
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove
Through last summer's sand
A dove
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove

And where the footprints end, end
Where the footprints end, end
What happened then
Where the footprints end?
Was not a wave that swallowed them
No gust of wind that did them so
No, where the footprints end
We must have flown

Yeah, we must have flown over tempting sea
Yeah, we must have flown heavier than air
Our heart and brain, the odd couple lookin' at rings

The sea above
The sky below
We must have flown where the footprints end

And when we realize we can't fly
Will we say "Do you think
We must have danced up into the sky?"

Last summer's footprints are walkin'
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove
Walkin' dove
Through last summer's sand
