We had the sun, we had the stars
We had the dunes, we had the ocean wide
And I felt like time
Was completely under my control
The two of us were all I cared about
I knew I had you
How simple and plain
It all was
Your footprints in the sand
That I still could trace yesterday
Have been washed away by the flood
What is still mine now?
Your love, it faded
Like the footprints in the sand
What do I have left now?
Nothing but my longing for you
I don't know when you started
To walk along the beach without me
And to look past me in silence
When I asked you about it
Often you don't realize the whole truth
Until it is too late
Here I am now
What can I do?
Your footprints in the sand
That I still could trace yesterday
Have been washed away by the flood
What is still mine now?
Your love, it faded
Like the footprints in the sand
What do I have left now?
Nothing but my longing for you
Looleelooleelooley, looleelooleelooley, have been
Washed away by the flood, looleelooleelooley
Your love, it faded
Like the footprints in the sand
What do I have left now?
Nothing but my longing for you
