Sand In Your Shoes lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Sand In Your Shoes lyrics You always were a city kid T hough you were country raised And back in some forgotten time W e 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 A s the day falls into dark And it s goodbye to my lady of the islands It was just like this Behind the kisses you so soon swept away Oh I always knew That some day you 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 W ith taxis at your feet Oh 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 T hat you said you d send me So it s goodbye to my lady of the islands song lyrics
