sand in your shoes

• al stewart'ın 1976 tarihli year of the cat albümünde ikamet eden şarkısı.
  
  you always were a city kid
  t hough you were country raised
  and back in some forgotten time
  w e 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
  a s 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
  w ith taxis at your feet
  oh 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
  t hat you said you'd send me
  so it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
