Old Shoes - Tom Waits

Im singin this song, 'cause its time it was sung

Ive been puttin it off for a while

'Cause its harder by now, and the truth is so clear

That Im cryin when Im 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 Ill be gone

And every time that I tried to tell you that wed

Lost the magic we had at the start

I would weep in my heart when I looked in your eyes

And Id 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 Ill be gone

For you know, that theres somethin callin me, dear

And by morning Im sure to be gone

For Im 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 Ill be gone

Now I can see by your eyes, that its time for to go

So Ill 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 Ill be gone

Can I kiss you, and then Ill be gone
