Footprints Lyrics

"Footprints" (capo: 5th. fret)
____Intro: Em7---Em9---Am/E---Bm7
____Verse: 1
It's beautiful outside
An old hand gathers wood________
Can he see me sitting here?
His mind is somewhere else
____Verse: 2
His friend have flown away
He's left out in the cold________
He won't sit by my fire
He says he likes it in the snow
Where footprints never go
He likes it in the snow
____Verse: 3
It's getting dark outside
The old hand's going home________
Has he someone waiting there?
Is he living on his own?
Where footprints never go
He likes it in the snow
____Chorus: 1
White blanket, hiding the traces
Of tears she didn't see
Oh, white blanket covers the memory
Of all that used to be,____all that used to be
____Coda:
But his heart keeps aching
In the same old way
He can't help feeling that
She might come back someday
____Verse: 4
It's beautiful outside
A magpie looks for food________
The old hand throws a crumb
Do you think he's found a friend?
Where footprints never go
He likes it in the snow
____Chorus: 2
White blanket, hiding the traces
Of paths he didn't take
Oh white blanket covers the memory
Of moves he didn't make
____Chorus: 1 (w/ changes)
Oh white blanket, hiding the traces
Of tears he didn't see
Snow white blanket simply covers the memory
Of all that used to be
____Coda:
But his heart keeps aching
In the same old way
He can't help feeling that
She might come back someday
