Its a tale of old shoes
And soles of your feet
Ive got blisters from running
On beaches and streets
Ive been knocked down and out
Ive got eyes black and blue
Im hit in the face when Im talking to you
Oh, dont lie down
As soon as I sleep, youll be leaving this town
Oh, dont lie down
Cause Im lost
And Im young
Got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep
Youll be leaving this town
Its a tale of tied hands
And holiday scenes
Ive got romance in places that Ive never been
But Ive said a hundred times
That Im all that you need
But you swear youre just stubborn and Im just naive
Oh, dont lie down
As soon as I sleep youll be leaving this town
And oh, dont lie down
Cause Im lost
And Im young
Got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep
Youll be leaving this town
Its a tale of old shoes
And soles of your feet
Ive got blisters from running
On beaches and streets
In the absense of sound
Will you sing back to me?
Or just whisper the thoughts, and tell me to dream?
Just dont lie down
As soon as I sleep youll be leaving this town
And oh, dont lie down
Cause Im lost
And Im young
Got my mind in the clouds
And if I fall asleep
Youll be leaving this town
