Old Shoes (and Picture Postcards) Lyrics - Tom Waits

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?
