Lyrics
Traveling Shoes (L. van Schaijk) I don't remember what day it was when I first heard the news That the fog was thick and the girl was dead and the trucker's got the blues And a line appeared above my eyes on the day that she was killed If everything happens for a reason then I have no reasoning skills So I put my sadness up for sale, now the bidding can begin But if no one takes an interest, I must store it all within If the story written on my face is the passing by of time Then the passing on of people can be read between the lines If death comes knocking on my door, he can use the waiting room Cause my traveling shoes don't fit me yet and I won't be leaving soon But the markings on my face will tell me when it's time to go If there's no more room for sorrow, I will know, I will know If death comes knocking on my door...
