These Boots Are A Folk Song

You said “These boots are a folk song”

I said “I know what you mean”

You smiled “Please buy them for me”

I said “After some caffeine

There’s a good cup round the corner”

You said “That wouldn’t be too smart

The man there he makes a good latte

But last year he busted my heart”

We’ve been alive too long

And we have been too many places

Held too many hands

And kissed too many faces

Is there any room to start anew

Cause I sure like spending time with you

You said “I like that actress”

I started staring at my shoes

Our love was the worst kind of movie

Wooden dialogue and heaps of bad reviews

I confessed at the museum

Felt it best to come clean

So you’d know I still get dizzy

Anytime I see her on the screen

We’ve been alive too long

And we have been too many places

Held too many hands

And kissed too many faces

Is there any room to start anew

I hope so cause I’m falling for you

We have too many memories

I wish we’d met at eighteen

Instead we sampled all the menu

You like Magdalene and me like Augustine

We’ve been alive too long

And we have been too many places

Held too many hands

And kissed too many faces

Is there any room to start anew

Sure it wasn’t pretty but we surely grew

The road was winding but it led me to you

You said “The past shouldn’t hold us”

I said “I hope that that’s true”

You said “Let’s be together”

I said “I really like those boots”
