The Shoemaker

I was a shoemaker, a mover, a shaker,

a breaker of rules not a sufferer of fools.

No liberties taken nor freedoms forsaken,

my mind was awakened by you, by you.

Because I would go anywhere to call a place home

I would go anywhere to go home

I would go anywhere to call a place home

I would go anywhere to go home

I showed you resistance when you offered assistance.

Oh why did I keep such a distance from you?

Drinking round town in my invincible crown,

oh my sorrows would drown in my memories of you.

Because I would go anywhere to call a place home

I would go anywhere to go home

I would go anywhere to call a place home

I would go anywhere to go home

Turn the lights out on your way out

Because I’m like the vapour of a cigarette paper,

a faker of air, just an everyday prayer.

But as long as I’m woken by the day as it’s broken,

then I will be spoken for by you.

Because I would go anywhere to call a place home

I would go anywhere to go home

I would go anywhere to call a place home

I would go anywhere to go home

Turn the lights out on your way out
