Every man must leave his footprint
On the shifting sands of time
But I'll just leave the mark
Of a heel
She was mine for ten long years
That's about ten thousand beers
Not counting all the nights
She was alone
Now divide the times she cried
By the times that I have lied
And you'll wonder
How she stood it
For so long
Funny thing now that she's gone
I'm home every night alone
The bright lights have lost
All their appeal
Yes, I thought she'd always be
Here at home to comfort mе
I never thought a broken hеart
Could be so real
Every man must leave his footprint
On the shifting sands of time
But I'll just leave the mark
Of a heel
When the book of time is read
And all the words have all been said
More than likely
There'll be a special
Word for me
For the fool that I have been
And the sins that I have sinned
Is plain enough
For anyone to see
Every man must leave his footprint
On the shifting sands of time
But I'll just leave the mark
Of a heel
