"A Night In" lyrics
"A Night In"
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
The path that you led
Wasn't straight to your bed
There's no cots to sleep in
And you showed me
Who I was running from
As if I had not known all along
Oh my old feet
They know these harsh streets
They're like old friends
They're flat on the ground
There's no further down
There's no cots to sleep in
You said, "Come in
Leave them outside the door"
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor
Now I know you're hurting
And I can't be there for you
I know you're hurting
And I can't be there no more
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had calluses, not sores
And I'd like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
I'll get back on the street
There's nothing more I can bring to you
You think I'm scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, I'll go and walk right through
And I'll show you
Who I've been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone
Now I know you're hurting
And I can't be there for you
I know you're hurting
And I can't be there no more
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had calluses, not sores
And I'd like to keep them
Oh my old feet
They know these harsh streets
They're like old friends
They're flat on the ground
There's no further down
There's no cots to sleep in
You said, "Come in
Leave them outside the door"
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor
And I know you're hurting
And I can't be there for you
I know you're hurting
And I can't be there no more
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had calluses, not sores
And I'd like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
I'll get back on the street
There's nothing more I can bring to you
You think I'm scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, I'll go and walk right through
And I'll show you
Who I've been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone

Nick Drake - "Things Behind The Sun" Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll...

Lambchop - "Steve McQueen" And if I never live to see another day
Oh, I guess that have to be alright by me
How come we never say what it is that we want to say
Is this just another way to be mean
Mean, mean
Not Steve McQueen...
Tim Buckley - "Song To The Siren" Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me

Let me enfold you
Here I am
