lyrics

I'm following the trail of your footsteps on a path to your place
they got me dancin' in the wind, and my spirit's longing for your embrace
But I fell into the river where the water refused to relent
it washed away your trail, and now I'm afraid that I've lost your scent

I climbed out into the forest
where the sun had said goodnight
I'm searching for your footsteps
I'm searching for some light

So I sought
and I spied
your figure
in the night

You were drawing close to me
with your hand brushing the leaves

I thought I'd lost my sight
but you took my hand and led me towards the light
