Footsteps Fall

Boo Hewerdine


I'm in a new place now
They don't know me next door
Though I can hear their footsteps fall 

Every night around this time
Does he take her in his arms?
There'll be Django playing
As they waltz across the floor 

And the loneliest sound of all
Is the sound of love through a stranger's wall 

And when their laughter fades
When there are no more words
The silence breaks me most of all 

And the loneliest sound of all
Is the sound of love through a stranger's wall 

I'm in a new place now
They don't know me next door
I wonder where your footsteps fall
