Footsteps in the Shadows - Alejandro Escovedo

Don’t take it lightly

Those footsteps in the darkness

Don’t take it lightly

There’s a shadow making ground

So just sleep lightly

The hounds will find the man

Shadows shaking

They’re closing in

Closing in

Don’t take it lightly

Shadows dance across the treeline

Don’t take it lightly

I need you more than ever

With one eye open, thunder’s rolling in

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever

Hey, hey, come on, we’re running for our lives

Hey, hey, come on, there’s refuge in your heartbeat

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

As darkness falls, I can hear them telling stories

The scent of cigarettes

There’s danger in the air

I close my eyes for a moment

You are with me

I’m glad you’re safe far away from here

These men who hunt us

Know nothing of our lives

So please step lightly

There’s menace in the heavens

Dark and threatening there’s a shadow in the air

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever

Hey hey, come on, we’re running for our lives

Hey, hey, come on, there’s refuge in your heartbeat

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

Don’t take it lightly

There’s footsteps in the shadows

Don’t take it lightly

I can feel it on my skin

One eye open, there’s an evil man a-coming

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever

Hey hey, come on, we’re running for our lives

Hey, hey, come on, there’s refuge in your heartbeat

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

Hey, hey, come on, there’s refuge in your heartbeat

Hey hey, come on, we’re running for our lives

Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

Hey, hey, come on, I need you more than ever

Hey hey, come on, we’re running for our lives

Hey, hey, come on, there’s refuge in your heartbeat

They’re closing in

They’re closing in

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey
