A Night In

(الألبوم: Tindersticks - 1993)

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
