Rhythm of Your Shoes > 07.28.2007

The Way I see it things have changed its better for me now
It all began that summer day when the rain kept pouring down
You were being you and I was me
But I'll never forget the way you
smiled at me, smiled at me
When you dropped your groceries on the floor and I met to help you out
You touched my hand, the way you did, and I never forget how
You were you and I was me, and now you're my one
And we spent the afternoon in love, with someone
And it was you, It was you

I could have been the king of many things but now I'm not because of you
I could have been somebody but I was just a body to you, and them things you do
Of the Rhythm of Your shoes, I love the way you move

So on and on those days became the fall
I and I haven't seen ya, woman, not at all
I stare out of my window on Greenwich Street today
I hope you come back , walk my way
Oh the way you used to walk
I remember clear, down alleyways and all around here
And I here your shoes on the ground, everyday I know
Can you come back soon, I hope you do
I hope you do
And I know you will

I could have been the king of many things but now I'm not because of you
I could have been somebody but I was just a body to you, and them things you do
I hear the Rhythm of Your shoes, the way you move

I'm an older man, I live my days in wonder
Will she ever come again, come again
I haven't locked eyes with another
I lived my days inside my place staring out
Oh the way you used to smile and slam my door
The way you left my room that day, you slammed that door
I'll never forgot the sounds of you
The click clack down the hall the rhythm of your shoes, of your shoes

I could have been the king of many things but now I'm not because of you
I could have been somebody but I was just a body to you, and them things you do
Of the Rhythm of Your shoes, the way you move
I could have been the king of many things but now I'm not because of you
I could have been somebody but I was just a body to you, and them things you do
I hear the Rhythm of Your shoes, the way you move
Of many things, of many things of many things

It's winter now I could have sworn deep inside my place it's feeling warm
Out of the corner of my eye I see this woman smiling I recognize those eyes I do
Oh the way you work that sidewalk, oh the way you walk, I know it's yo
Should I come up , should I say hi, should I tell you hello,
Should I let you know I been waiting here for thirty years,
Should I tell you that I loved you since that summer day
Should I tell you that you crushed my life when you walked away
Should I tell you that changed me in every single way
That I could have been somebody but I was nothing today
I'll just sit here and think about you and the thing you do , the way you do walking that way
The rhythm of your shoes
