Two Steps Step Out Songtext
von The Go‐Betweens

I haven′t heard a voice that I can trust
and all this sweetness turns a throat to rust
I'm standing on a quay wrapped up in mist
the steamer′s left with someone that I miss
I'd walk a hundred miles
sold my horse, got fired by the consul
a testament to flags, I was hostile
tried faith and drugs and gold
it didn't work, I couldn′t fill the hole
I′d walk a hundred miles
a thousand miles, a million miles
two steps step out
towards your door
I'll be calling round
two steps step out
I′m on my way
here I am now


I started cutting marble in a quarry
I worked my hands, I wasn't in a hurry
the time I did to pass the time
the time I did to pass the time
I′d walk a hundred miles
so now I'm loading wool down at the wharf
the ships unload and then they head back north
and every time the mist comes in
I sit and watch the mist come in
I′d walk a hundred miles
a thousand miles, a million miles
two steps step out
towards your door
I'll be calling round
two steps step out
I'm on my way
here I am now
