A Night In - Tindersticks

I had shoes full of holes

When you first took me in The path that you led

Wasn’t 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

Chorus:

And I know you’re hurting

And I can’t be there for you

And 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

See 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

Chorus

I had shoes full of holes

When you first took me in

I had calluses, 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

Chorus

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

See 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
