Sand In Your Shoes Lyrics


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 !!!
This Providence (previously known as Sunday Best), is a four piece pop rock band from Seattle, Washington US. The members of This Providence came together in the summer of 2001 and soon after recorded a 4 song demo CD, under the short lived name of "T minus 1." In 2003 they recorded the better known The Sunday Best EP, co-produced, and self-released (now out of print). While still in high school, they gathered a strong local following as well as some label attention. After graduating, the band released their debut full-length record, Our Worlds Divorce, produced by Casey Bates.

Fueled By Ramen released This Providence's self titled full-length album (This Providence) on September 12, 2006.

On November 1, 2006, Phil Cobrea announced that he would no longer be playing bass in This Providence. He cited fractured relationships and a need to be around his family and girlfriend as his reason for leaving. He left on friendly terms and claims he will be around when This Providence plays shows in Seattle.

Among many other bands, they have toured with Cute Is What We Aim For, All Time Low, and Brighten. This Providence appeared at The Bamboozle 2007 on May 5th, 2007. And also appeared at Warped Tour for a couple of years. They released Who Are You Now?.

This Providence left Fueled By Ramen in the early months of 2012, and on May 1, 2012, they released the 'Brier' EP, which was the first new music from them since the release of 'Who Are You Now?'
