Shoes of the Brother

Sign said leave your shoes behind
We walked from stone to light
Barefoot held the note all night
The roots grew out from under us
There was nothing to distrust
They were right by my side

Turn around, walk home, there you are
(It was always mine, it was always mine)
Turn around, walk home, there you are
(You say I'll be fine, I've got all this time)

Cold sun like a silent sound
His shoes abandoned on a lawn
Imagine them here living in a house
Shovel snow in an old time font
Hold the note till it spins
Selling short again, turn around
Think of places you've been
Try again and the note rings out

Turn around, walk home, there you are
(It was always mine, it was always mine)
Turn around, walk home, there you are
(You tell me I'm fine, you say I've got time)
Turn around, walk home, there you are
(It was always mine, and they were by my side)
I've got all this time, and I will be just fine
I've got time

Carried her to buy some shoes
Asked which ones she would choose
Said he would wear them too
Her notes spun in all directions
The roots grew out from under them
She grabbed his hand to dance
And they ran faster than they ever had

I did not create this
I cannot erase this
I need not translate it
But it gives me grace
