lyrics
provided for research and private study only (see above for copyright details): Footsteps fall 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 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 loneliest sound of all is the sound of love through a stranger’s wall and 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 I wonder where your footsteps fall I wonder where... your footsteps fall

Footsteps fall

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 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 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
I wonder where your footsteps fall
I wonder where... your footsteps fall
