Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards) Songtext
von Tom Waits

Well I′m singing this song, cause it's time it was sung
I′ve been putting it off for a while
But it's harder by now, cause the truth is so clear
That I cry 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
And 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
And 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 crying in the rain
Though I held in my hand, the key to all joy
But 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
And 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
And I kiss you, and then I'll be gone
And I kiss you, and then I′ll be gone
And I kiss you, and then I'll be gone
