Footfall to the Path Songtext
von Jesca Hoop

As every hand
I′ve ever held
Like water moves from me

And every mouth
I've ever kissed
Like open doors
Closing

When you say hello I hear goodbye
And feel your hand in mine
When my empty bed is cold again
You′re sleeping by my side

Goodbye moon
Goodbye sun
Goodbye moon
Goodbye sun
Goodbye moon
Goodbye sun


As every roof and wooden floor
Once turned to dust you'll see
That every route drawn to the door
To home no longer lead

When you say goodbye
I hear hello
And cross the wet threshold
When I crave to feel
The sun again
I lengthen my shadow

Hello moon
Hello sun
Hello moon
Hello sun
Hello moon
Hello sun


Why love if loving never lasts
I'll never have what I′ll always have
Palm pushing fist into the past
I′ll never have what I'll always have
Why love if loving never lasts
I′ll never have what I'll always have
Nowhere but footfall to the path
I′ll never have what I'll always have
Nothing
Grasp nothing

As every breath
Leaves every breast
So every step leaves stone

Somehow stone
Once held fire
But leaves nothing to hold
To hold
To hold
To hold
To hold
To hold
To hold
