Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards)

Well I'm singing this song, cause it's time it was sung I've been putting it off for a while, Cause it's harder by now, and the truth is so clear That I am crying when I'm seeing you smile. So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. And every time that I tried to tell you that we'd lost the magic we had at the start, I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes And I searched once again for the spark. So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Oh you know that there's something calling me dear and by morning, I'm sure to be gone For I'm older than you and you know so well That our time for to love was a song So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Now I can see by your eyes, it's time now to go So I'll leave you crying in the rain, Though I held in my hand, the key to all joy Honey my heart was not born to be tamed. And goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear And your tears cannot bind me anymore, And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone. --- Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards) - Tom Waits
