Shoeshine

A shoeshine and a shave
A tower of pancakes
And I'm on my way
The sunlight cools my face
So long, so long

Of all the whiles I've known
You are the first to take me home
But a hawk in hand is worthless
Let it go, let her go
Let it go, let her go

A new god everyday
I'll take the long way back home
The pawn shop sold off my name
For stones, for stones

No goodbyes, no goodbyes
Not today, not today
Maybe some bright morning later on

But save me a place
For a time, for a time
For the time it takes to waltz away
