A Night In Songtext
von Tindersticks

I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
The path that you led
Was straight to your bed
There′s no cots to sleep in

And you showed me
Who I was running from
As if I had not known all along

Oh, my old feet
They know this hard street
Stay like old friends
They're flat on the ground
There′s no further down
There's no cots to sleep in

So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet off the floor


And I know you're hurting
And I can′t be there for you
And I know you′re hurting
And I can't be there no more

I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And I′d like to keep them

So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
There's nothing more I can bring to you
They are scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, I′ll go and walk right through

And I'll show you
Who I′ve been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone

And I know you′re hurting
And I can′t be there for you
I know you're hurting
When I can′t be there no more


I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And I'd like to keep them

Oh, my old feet
They know this hard street
They′re like old friends
They're flat on the ground
There′s no further down
There's no cots to sleep in

So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet off the floor

And I know you're hurting
And I can′t be there for you
I know you′re hurting
That I can't be there no more

I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had callouses, not sores
And I′d like to keep them

So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
There's nothing more I can bring to you
They are scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, I′ll go and walk right through

And I'll show you
Who I′ve been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone
