Lyrics
Sky Full Of Shoes
By Kim Davidson © 2005
Woke up this morning with the vague haze of a dream
Scratching at my brain, hanging over my day
If I only could remember, maybe I could save myself
From what?s lurking in the cobwebs, waiting to pounce
I think you might have called me, or was that just in my head?
I recall how wrong it seemed, but I don?t know just what you said
Now it?s jangling on my nerves, coiled tight just like a spring
And I feel like one wrong breath is gonna trigger everything
CHORUS:
?Cause the air is holding still, charging up for the release
And the birds have stopped their chirping, they?re just sitting in the trees
Like high noon in a western town, they?ve vanished one and all
?Cause the sky is full of shoes, and I?m just waiting? for the next one to fall.
May I have this dance, you ask me, and I twirl straight into hell
From these tenterhooks I live on, yeah I?ve come to know them well
But your promise always gets me, like a smoke and mirrors show
And then just when I feel safe again, it?s time for you to go?
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
It?s been in the cards for so long that the joker?s lost his smile
And I should be ashamed for being stupid all this while
(CHORUS)
