Old Shoes (and Picture Postcards) by Tom Waits

I'm singing this song, 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
Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.

Every time
that I tried to tell
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.
Can I kiss
you, and then I'll be gone,
can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
