Standing there, so unused,
Screamed to me, "I'm your shoes,
The ones that once upon a time,
Belonged to him, so very fine"?

But no, no I don't want to get rid of it,
Those memories, so little-kid of it,
To cloud my mind, wanting to play,
To change tomorrow's promise into today

Shoes that we never walked in,
Shoes that he once stalked me in,
Each shoe a journey, a way to a world,
With us adventurers thrown into, hurled

The powers he commanded,
The dreams that I sought,
The wonderful joy
That played like a child's toy
With ever kiss that time had bought

And I'm just doing nothing,
Just sitting here,
His words and smile still cutting,
Through my heart that held him dear

Shoes that we never walked in,
Shoes that he once stalked me in,
Each shoe a journey, a way to a world,
With us adventurers thrown into, hurled

He told me
That we could face anything
Flying free
Through the star-dusted night of being

But the wings have failed,
That ship has sailed,
That window's closed,
As everyone knows

Shoes that we never walked in,
Shoes that he once stalked me in,
Each shoe a journey, a way to a world,
With us adventurers thrown into, hurled

One flight down,
That music's stopped,
As I put on that new gown,
My dreams just drop

My brain tells me it's over,
But I've found a four-leaf clover,
In the meadow overlooked,
As the rest of the earth shook

So I'll try on some new shoes,
Maybe to give my heart some clues,
But none will match the ones,
That gather dust in the corner, over and done

Shoes that we never walked in"¦
