Sand in Your Shoes - 2001 Remaster
You always were a city kid
Though you were country raised
And back in some forgotten time
We shared the cold north days
But the simple life was not your style
And you just had to escape
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
On Remembrance Day the bands all played
The bells pealed through the park
And you lay there by the "Do Not" signs
And shamed them with your spark
Now winter moans in old men's bones
As the day falls into dark
And it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
It was just like this
Behind the kisses you so soon swept away
Oh, I always knew
That some day you'd
Be bound to just get pulled away
The summer sun beats on and on
The shops swim in the heat
And you're standing by the traffic signs
With taxis at your feet
Well I know that in your city skin
You're feeling more complete
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
No, I never got the letters
That you said you'd send to me
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
