about

A great music track written and played by Nick Pellicano of New Jersey. My melody, lyrics and vocals added.

The story behind it is the loss of my only son Simon at 17. The lyrics just seemed to work more if the subject was female, dunno why. Perhaps it got too personal otherwise.

lyrics

Footprint in the Sand Melody and lyrics to an original track by Nick Pellicano

SHE WALKS THROUGH THE WINDOWS OF MY MIND
A PRECIOUS MEMORY I’M SEARCHIN TO FIND
BUT I WAKE FROM THIS DAYDREAM ALONE
JUST A WRONG NUMBER ON MY TELEPHONE

SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR AWAY IN THE SHADOWS OF MY DREAMS
NOT HERE TOMORROW AND SHE’S GONE TODAY – NOTHING’S LIKE IT SEEMS

SHE COMES AND GOES A SILVER WRAITH
WHILE I REMEMBER AND KEEP THE FAITH
ON THE EDGE OF NEAR AND FAR HOPELESSLY DISTANT AS A STAR

I REACH OUT TO HER INSIDE MY HEAD
MY FINGERS GRASPING FOR HER HAND
BUT SHE IS GONE FOREVER DEAD
JUST A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND
A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND
JUST A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND

I REACH OUT TO HER INSIDE MY HEAD
MY FINGERS GRASPING FOR HER HAND
BUT SHE IS GONE FOREVER DEAD
JUST A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND
I TRY TO TAKE HER HAND NOW WE’RE APART
BUT SHE LIVES ON INSIDE MY HEART

Barry Kingsbeer Stratford Upon Avon, UK

I've played bass and sung since I was 13. Pro back in the sixties for a while doing the beat group thing through to some spectacularly unsuccessful recordings. Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
