Sand In Your Shoes

You always were a city kid

Though you were country raised

And back in some forgotten time

We shared the cold north daysBut the simple life was not your style

And you just had to escape

So it's goodbye to my lady of the islandsOn Remembrance Day the bands all played

The bells pealed through the park

And you lay there by the "Do Not" signs

And shamed them with your sparkNow, winter moans in old men's bones

As the day falls into dark

And it's goodbye to my lady of the islandsIt was just like this behind

The kisses you so soon swept away

I've always knew that some day

You'd be bound to just get pulled awayThe summer sun beats on and on

The shops swim in the heat

And you're standin' by the traffic signs

With taxis at your feetWell, I know that in your city skin

You're feeling more complete

So it's goodbye to my lady of the islandsNo, I never got the letters

That you said, you'd send to me

So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
