Footfalls

I heard her before I saw

Thought I was prepared to fall, turns out

I wasn't prepared at all

And when I turned and watched her walk

Away, I'd close my eyes and

Disguise myself in the day

She was mine, a motive

Without a crime, an alibi

For my time spent

In someone else's eyes

A devil in her black dress

An angel in her pale skin

And I'm a criminal standing trial against

Heaven, and I've no defense

When she sways her hips

Turns to me, and blows a kiss

She said, Baby I hate to see you

Go down like this

I'd love to see you

Someplace less

Blue, couldn't you

Let go a little bit, cause the world stops just short

Of the truth, and I'm just not yours

To lose

I saw her before I heard

The door, now she's walking out

And I doubt

She'll be coming back for more

Cause once you've tasted poison

And woke up the next morning

A little less than dead

The sun bears down

On hollow ground

The trust wears out

And you're left to drown

Beneath every little thing they said

Don't do this

Don't give in

She'll leave you blistered

By her touch again

And another 3am seems

To come and go without me

Cause I'm at the door allowing

The devil one more moment

And the angel one last dance

Don't do thisDon't give in

She'll leave you twisted

Round her finger again

And a lover's 3am seems

To sense the liqour on your breath

Another night without her and

This memory is all that's left.
