Old Shoes Lyrics

Tom Waits

I’m singin’ this song, 'cause it’s time it was sung I’ve been puttin’ it off for a while 'Cause it’s harder by now, and the truth is so clear That I’m cryin’ when I’m seein’ 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 in my heart when I looked in your eyes And I’d search 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
For you know, that there’s somethin’ callin’ me, dear And by morning I’m sure to be gone For I’m older than you, and you know oh so well That our time for the love was this 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, that it’s time for to go So I’ll leave you cryin’ 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
