Old Shoes

Its a tale of old shoes

And soles of your feet

I've got blisters from running

On beaches and streets

I've been knocked down and out

I've got eyes black and blue

I'm hit in the face when I'm talking to you

Oh, don't lie down

As soon as I sleep, you'll be leaving this town

Oh, don't lie down

'Cause I'm lost

And I'm young

Got my mind in the clouds

And if I fall asleep

You'll be leaving this town

It's a tale of tied hands

And holiday scenes

I've got romance in places that I've never been

But I've said a hundred times

That I'm all that you need

But you swear you're just stubborn and I'm just naïve

Oh, don't lie down

As soon as I sleep you'll be leaving this town

And oh, don't lie down

'Cause I'm lost

And I'm young

Got my mind in the clouds

And if I fall asleep

You'll be leaving this town

Its a tale of old shoes

And soles of your feet

I've got blisters from running

On beaches and streets

In the absense of sound

Will you sing back to me?

Or just whisper the thoughts, and tell me to dream?

Just don't lie down

As soon as I sleep you'll be leaving this town

And oh, don't lie down

'Cause I'm lost

And I'm young

Got my mind in the clouds

And if I fall asleep

You'll be leaving this town
