Footsteps out in the rain
Let me go and play my part
Before the band moves away
Stepping in a quick march
Before the dawn's grey shadows and blame
Start emerging from the dark
I need someone to explain
What's happened to my cruel and useless arms?

I hear bells ring
Set an alarm out on the day
I smell all the flowers in Spain
Crouched outside my window
I feel breath after breath
Bent to erase this rugged stain
I see the wolf slink in
Wearing a skin all blood and brindle

Do what you will
You can't hurt my pride
Long may dishonesty abide
Take what you want
But spare my life
And spare me pleasure and peace of mind
Oh footsteps out in the rain
Footsteps out in the rain
Footsteps out in the rain
Keep on beating, you ruthless heart
Keep on beating, ruthless heart

Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
I don't want to go
Leave me alone

Are those the jackets of shells
Gleaming so bright up on the shelf?
Bark a command
They're fired by the fistful
Whose clumsy hand shoots out
Sends them shattered to the ground
Broken glass and medicine -
Where are my men, where is my pistol?

Has the sun gone down, or has it slid behind a cloud?
I can't see the blades of my trusty scissors
Give me a tromp l'oeil bowl of fruit
Give me a chanting oiled crowd
Don't leave me here with this cold and quiet listener

They called me evil
And they cursed my name
I've never felt an ounce of shame

Before you judge me
You better take a second look
Pages missing in this open book

Oh footsteps out in the rain
Footsteps out in the rain
Footsteps out in the rain
Keep on beating you ruthless heart,
Keep on beating, ruthless...
