Do You Hear Footsteps
(Kerri Powers)
kerripowerssongs, BMI, crittunes, ASCAP
The wind cries through your windowpanes, mourning my last words
Shadows dance on cabin walls, greenwood cracks and burns
Count out all your shotgun shells, cock the deadbolt tight
Pray the lake don't give me up, they found your hunting knife
They found your hunting knife
*Do you hear footsteps
Outside your door
The hands that hold the Remington and slammed the bottle down
Once touched me with each tender kiss, in the hours before the dawn
The eyes that stare out nervously, at shapes cast by the moon
Once so green with jealousy, they couldn't see the truth
No, they couldn't see the truth
*Chorus
My voice
My face
A haunting cold embrace
Could be your guilt, Could be my ghost
You'll never know
