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

Whenever trouble
Comes 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 welcome 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
