Footprints in the Sands of Time

(Jerry McBee)



The strange lonely whistle of the distant movin' train

Breaks the silence of the gray winter skies

As I walk with my belongings down the road I'd never seen

While the bitter wind brings teardrops to my eyes.



Oh, where will I be when tomorrow weakens me

Am I looking for a dream I'll never find

Will I ever be the man I want to be

Or forgotten footprints in the sands of time?



As I'm walking down the road my thoughts keep running back to you

And I hope it's in your heart to understand

Though you never made me sorry for the love I gave to you

I'm just sorry that I'm not your kind of man.



Oh, where will I be when tomorrow weakens me

Am I looking for a dream I'll never find

Will I ever be the man I want to be

Or forgotten footprints in the sands of time?

Oh, where will I be when tomorrow weakens me

Am I looking for a dream I'll never find

Will I ever be the man I want to be

Or forgotten footprints in the sands of time?...
