NO SHOES ON MY FEET

You laid me down in winter and buried me in your sympathy
From sandy soil my feet become so cold
And my past it laughs behind me, at my future and its uncertainty
Not out of reach but it isn’t mine to hold

I never once did doubt you, I gave what I could give
Anyplace without you is a place I couldn’t live, I know

I’m so happy to be playing the stage in California
It was the only time I thought I understood
When you threw down your defenses, it sent shimmers through my senses
I swear a feeling never felt so good

I never once did doubt you, I gave what I could give
Any way without you is a way I couldn’t live, I know

There’s one I left behind me, and I know that I was right
But look at me now, I can’t stand on my own
And a dream I never once believed lay dying on Division Street
And what died with that was my direction home
