Your Tennis Shoes Remind Me
I remember your tennis shoes
I never saw them clean
They always looked like clumps of mud
I suppose they still do — just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
I remember the first morning
After the world changed
The birds interrupted our laughter
As the shun shone through — just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
I remember playing football
And sailing boats
Telling children stories they thought were true
Dancing in circles and turning a screw
Just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
A lot of birds have sung since then
You left your tennis shoes with me
And an iron and a toy boat marked HMS Victory
The ducks are still there
And so are the children
The graffiti on the wall has changed
For "off" read "you"
I take the boat there sometimes
A lot of water has flowed under
And the bridge won't stand for it much longer
Since the first wind blew
Listening to you, she said
I remember balancing acts on park benches
Why didn't we get arrested?
You said lunatics never do — just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
It made us heaven bound
Like a circus act without a clown
I remember the ground quaked when we fought
The insults and the crockery I always threw
Living on visions that never came true
Just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
A lot of birds have sung since then
You left your tennis shoes with me
And an iron and a toy boat marked HMS Victory
The ducks are still there
And so are the children
The graffiti on the wall has changed
For "off" read "you"
I take the boat there sometimes
A lot of water has flowed under
And the bridge won't stand for it much longer
Since the first wind blew
Listening to you, she said
I never saw them clean
They always looked like clumps of mud
I suppose they still do — just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
I remember the first morning
After the world changed
The birds interrupted our laughter
As the shun shone through — just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
I remember playing football
And sailing boats
Telling children stories they thought were true
Dancing in circles and turning a screw
Just like you
We were going down
Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
A lot of birds have sung since then
You left your tennis shoes with me
And an iron and a toy boat marked HMS Victory
The ducks are still there
And so are the children
The graffiti on the wall has changed
For "off" read "you"
I take the boat there sometimes
A lot of water has flowed under
And the bridge won't stand for it much longer

I remember the ground quaked when we fought
The insults and the crockery I always threw
Living on visions that never came true
Just like you

Like a whirlpool we were spinning around
We were going down
Like a whirlpool that was turning around
A lot of birds have sung since then
You left your tennis shoes with me
And an iron and a toy boat marked HMS Victory
The ducks are still there
And so are the children
The graffiti on the wall has changed
For "off" read "you"
I take the boat there sometimes
A lot of water has flowed under
And the bridge won't stand for it much longer
Since the first wind blew
Listening to you, she said
