Letra A night in Tindersticks

A night in

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
