Old Shoes Lyrics by Tom Waits

Old Shoes Lyrics

    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.
