Old Shoes

Tom Waits

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.
