lyrics
Well I met mother nature’s daughter
She turned my wine back into water
And she lived with me in Sydney NSW
And from our home I started straying
First from cities into farmland
And then from Perth up to Toronto on a plane.
Singing all the way.
I do wear travelling shoes
I’ve worn them all my days
Though we’re leaving in the morning
I want you to want me to stay.
And when the distance tore to pieces
All the ribbons that had bound us
I started drinking like tomorrow wouldn’t come
And she tried her best to reach me
She cried at me down the phone line
So I found other girls and smoke to make me numb
Oh what drives me to run?
Ten thousand miles in only twenty four hours
And a book ‘bout the games that we play
Back home she’s sleeping
Weaving herself into some other guys brain.
Well I heard she bought a ticket
And she’s heading off to Europe
And I’m still drinking like a mick on paddy’s day
Wishing I had only answered
When she was calling out to find me
And I’d walk her to the alter and I’d say.
“I do Mrs. Travelling Shoes”
“I’ll love you all my days”
“Though we’re leaving in the morning”
“Every morning after”
“We’ll wake up in exactly the same place”.
Because home is where the heart is
And I want you to want me to stay.
She turned my wine back into water
And she lived with me in Sydney NSW
And from our home I started straying
First from cities into farmland
And then from Perth up to Toronto on a plane.
Singing all the way.
I do wear travelling shoes
I’ve worn them all my days
Though we’re leaving in the morning
I want you to want me to stay.
And when the distance tore to pieces
All the ribbons that had bound us
I started drinking like tomorrow wouldn’t come
And she tried her best to reach me
She cried at me down the phone line
So I found other girls and smoke to make me numb
Oh what drives me to run?
Ten thousand miles in only twenty four hours
And a book ‘bout the games that we play
Back home she’s sleeping
Weaving herself into some other guys brain.
Well I heard she bought a ticket
And she’s heading off to Europe
And I’m still drinking like a mick on paddy’s day
Wishing I had only answered
When she was calling out to find me
And I’d walk her to the alter and I’d say.
“I do Mrs. Travelling Shoes”
“I’ll love you all my days”
“Though we’re leaving in the morning”
“Every morning after”
“We’ll wake up in exactly the same place”.
Because home is where the heart is
And I want you to want me to stay.
