Barefoot Boys and Barefoot Girls
Winter take me back beyond the womb
Tonight I hear Virginia's rain
Fallin' on the room
That held me as a child
Beneath the cradle moon
And watched a baby grow
Until she thought she knew
Barefoot boys with cheeks of tan
Have gone to find the promised land
Barefoot girls with empty hands lie
Restlessly awaiting
Restlessly awaiting
Like an old Da Vinci painting
Restlessly, restlessly, restlessly
Winter take me through your window pane
To childhood secret fantasies
Carry me again
I used to dream of
Growing, knowing one year soon
I would dance a great blue tango
Under haloed moon
Barefoot boys with cheeks of tan
Have gone to find the promised land
Barefoot girls with empty hands lie
Restlessly awaiting
Restlessly awaiting
Like an old Da Vinci painting
Restlessly, restlessly, restlessly
Now I'm leaning on my old Leo
I hear the idle strain of my radio
And I wonder if I should go
Hey, I wonder if I should go
Somebody tell me should I go
Pack my bags and should I go
With all those
Barefoot boys with cheeks of tan
They've gone to find the promised land
Barefoot girls with empty hands lie
Restlessly awaiting
Restlessly, restlessly
Ooh-hoo, hoo-hoo
I'm so restless
I can feel, feel that I'm restless
Oh restless
Can't you see it, can't you feel it
Restless
Ooh-hoo
Tonight I hear Virginia's rain
Fallin' on the room
That held me as a child
Beneath the cradle moon
And watched a baby grow
Until she thought she knew
Barefoot boys with cheeks of tan
Have gone to find the promised land
Barefoot girls with empty hands lie
Restlessly awaiting
Restlessly awaiting
Like an old Da Vinci painting
Restlessly, restlessly, restlessly
Winter take me through your window pane
To childhood secret fantasies
Carry me again
I used to dream of
Growing, knowing one year soon
I would dance a great blue tango
Under haloed moon
Barefoot boys with cheeks of tan
Have gone to find the promised land
Barefoot girls with empty hands lie
Restlessly awaiting
Restlessly awaiting
Like an old Da Vinci painting
Restlessly, restlessly, restlessly
Now I'm leaning on my old Leo
I hear the idle strain of my radio
And I wonder if I should go
Hey, I wonder if I should go
Somebody tell me should I go
Pack my bags and should I go
With all those
Barefoot boys with cheeks of tan
They've gone to find the promised land
Barefoot girls with empty hands lie
Restlessly awaiting
Restlessly, restlessly
Ooh-hoo, hoo-hoo
I'm so restless
I can feel, feel that I'm restless
Oh restless
Can't you see it, can't you feel it
Restless
Ooh-hoo
