High Heels and All

A couple on a bridge

A stone bridge in some European town

And after all the years

In corduroy and silence

In between the water and the moon

The water and the moon

I see we all fall down

A knock at the front door

A crack in the wall

A stain on the floorboards

It's nothing at all

It's nothing at all

And after all the years

After all the yearning

And the years, what is left to say?

What is left to say?

Well, isn't it a hard life?

But lay your hand inside mine

A minute more

And turn your cheek toward me

A minute more

Suddenly you say

"Oh baby, don't fall down

Though these are the hard times

Though this is the fight

Nobody's wrong here

Nobody's right

Nobody's right"

And after all the years

Just looking at your shadow

Holding mine

It's holding on to mine

Still holding on to mine

Well, isn't that a holy sign?

Like maybe we're fine

Yeah, isn't that a free ride out of here?

I think that that's a sign

Yeah, I think that's a sign

That though we all fall down

A knock at the front door

A crack in the wall

A stain on the floorboards

It's nothing at all

It's nothing

So oh my my

Let's mop up the floorboards

Let's repaint the walls

And put on your new dress

High heels and all

High heels and all

High heels and all

High heels and all

High heels and all

High heels and all
