Echo Of Your Footsteps

The day that you told me you wanted to be free
I agree with everything you had to say
But I confess I lie and darling how I cry
When the echo of your footsteps died away
I thought our castle's had a firm foundation
But all along was only made of clay
With aching heart I'd found it tumbled to the ground
When the echo of your footsteps died away
[ steel ]
If I had only known I'd feel so all alone
I'd have begged down on my knees for you to stay
The gates to paradise swung close before my eyes
When the echo of your footsteps died away
No matter where you are I wish you well dear
And I ask God to bless you everyday
For I cannot deny I bid my heart goodbye
When the echo of your footsteps died away
