Versuri 04. Footprints

It's beautiful outside 
An old hand gathers wood 
Can he see me sitting here? 
His mind is somewhere else 
 
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 
 
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 
 
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 
 
But his heart keeps aching 
In the same old way 
He can't help feeling that 
She might come back someday 
 
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 
 
White blanket, hiding the traces 
Of paths he didn't take 
Oh white blanket covers the memory 
Of moves he didn't make [Incomprehensible] 
 
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 
 
But his heart keeps aching 
In the same old way 
He can't help feeling that 
She might come back someday
