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
