o.k.. one more...


AS SOON AS I FIND MY SHOES I'M GONE
As recorded by Ferron on "Shadows on a Dime" (1984)

If you're going alone
Watching solely for yourself will power you through your time
My heart, my home,
I felt assured that it would give me back in twofold time
But you know I don't know
Wouldn't say that I know
And as soon as I find my shoes I'm gone.

If there was a way
You'd think we'd have stumbled on it now, The places we have been
It hurts to say
I can't grab a sense of how to get it to turn and spin
I have to say I don't know
Wouldn't say that I know
And as soon as I find my shoes I'm gone.

In the back of my mind
I maintain the thought of you, my heart's horizon line
They say love travels blind
How come I still see myself with you whenever I look behind?
I have to say I don't know
Wouldn't say that I know
And as soon as I find my shoes I'm gone.

And from an empty room
I bear the scent of you I take upon myself
We weren't untrue
It's more we just spent our love imagining we were something else
I have to say I don't know
Wouldn't say that I know
And as soon as I find my shoes I'm gone.
