about

Definitely looking for an awesome, funky/jazzy bass player for this one :)

trivia: yes, these are really my boots. Not some awesome former lover's. The leaf was there on its own, blown in through the window of my sister's apartment in NYC.

lyrics

Bedroom Shoes

My heart hangs heavy but my eyes run dry
I don't have another tear left in me to cry
it's been so long since I've been satisfied
been looking for another but I can't seem to find

anyone like you
seems no one
is gonna fill these bedroom shoes
You know you drove me to it

Tossing and turning, can't sleep all night
the morning takes forever but it comes on time
I've met the now or never kind, I'd rather go blind
then settle for another when I can't seem to find

anyone as good as you
seems no one
is gonna fill these bedroom shoes
You know you wanna do it

Clickety-clack train's on the track but who will start the engine
Blowin' smoke won't get you nowhere but in the kitchen
I'm looking for the one who starts a fire in my fingers
makes me want to take you apart, and find your weakness
You are my weakness

Hold me close now, don't dare let go
Say you'll stay until tomorrow
when you can say 'I told you so'
I'm trying to admit
I might have been wrong, so
Come back for me boy
Don't let me linger too long
Don't let me linger

My heart hangs heavy but my eyes run dry
I don't have another tear left in me to cry
it's been so long since I've been satisfied
Don't let me linger
Don't let me linger too long
