Lyrics Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Footprints in the Snow

First time when you looked at me

You tried to hide but I could see

A special beauty in your eyes

Passion flying like a spark

Like an arrow to the mark

I feel it sting my jealousy

Before you know there's footprints in the snow

Desire like a river flows

Where it comes from no one knows

Love just like a flower grows

And then God only knows

It comes down like guillotine

Now I feel the rain

of love torn by a hurricane

One night eclipsed the sun

How deep still waters run

How deep they go like footprints in the snow

Take my love into your brest

Commit my spirit to the test

You will see him like a knight

His armour gleams

We'll fly upon his angel's wings

Above the clouds in rainbow rings

We can sail a ship of dreams

If you will take my hand

We can cross this desert made of sand

We can break in through the ice

And feel the wind of paradise

We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow

Anytime you feel alone

Just raise your hand, pick up the phone

Take in my number, there I'll be

If one day your stars won't shine

I will give you some of mine

Cause they could fall so easily

We both know there's footprints in the snow
