Old Shoes (and Picture Postcards) lyrics

Artist  : Tom Waits 
Song : Old Shoes (and Picture Postcards)
 


I'm singing this song, it's time it was
sung
I've been putting it off for a
while,
But it's harder by now, 'cause the
truth is so clear
That I cry 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.

Every time that I tried to
tell
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.

I can see by your eyes, it's time
now to go
So I'll leave you to cry in the
rain,
Though I held in my hand, the key to all
joy
Honey my heart was not born to be
tamed.
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.

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,
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be
gone,
can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
