Tom Waits - Old Shoes (And Picture Postcards) Lyrics




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

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?

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?
