A Night In lyrics

I had shoes full of holes

When you first took me in

The path that you led

Was 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 this hard street

Stay like old friends

You're flat on the ground

There's no further down

There's no cots to sleep in

So 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

Get back on the street

There's nothing more I can bring to 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

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 callouses, not sores

And I'd like to keep them

Oh now your feet

They know this hard street

They're like old friends

You're flat on the ground

There's no further down

There's no cots to sleep in

So 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

Get back on the street

There's nothing more I can bring to 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
