Footprints (Callahan Bill)

Last summer's footprints are walkin' Walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove Through last summer's sand A dove walkin' dove walkin' dove And where the footprints end Where the footprints end What happened then Where the footprints end? Was not a wave that swallowed them No gust of wind that did them so No, where the footprints end They must have flown! Yea they must have flown Overtemptin' sea They must have flown Heavy earth and air Lookin' at rings The sea above The sky below They must have flown Where the footprints end And when we realize we can't fly Will we say "do you think We must have danced up into the sky?" Last summer's footprints are walkin' Walkin' dove walkin' dove walkin' dove Through last summer's sand
