Old Shoes Lyrics - The Early Years, Vol. 2 - Tom Waits

I? m singin? this song, 'cause it? s time it was sung 

I? ve been puttin? it off for a while 

'Cause it? s harder by now, and the truth is so clear 

That I? m cryin? 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 

And every time that I tried to tell you that we? d 

Lost the magic we had at the start 

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

And I? d 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

And by morning I? m sure to be gone 

For I? m 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

Now I can see by your eyes, that it? s time for to go 

So I? ll 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
