Sand in Your Shoes

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You always were a city kid though you were country raised And back in some forgotten time we shared the cold north days But the simple life was not your style, and you just had to escape So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands On Remembrance Day the bands all played, the bells pealed through the park And you lay there by the Do Not signs, and shamed them with your spark Now winter moans in old men's bones as the day falls into dark So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands It was just like this behind the kisses you so soon swept away I always knew that some day yo'd be bound to just get pulled away The summer sun beats on and on, the shops swim in the heat And you're standing by the traffic signs with taxis at your feet I know that in your city skin you're feeling more complete So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands No I never got the letters that you said you'd send me So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
