Текст Emily Anderson — The Other Shoe

There’s a naked shoe out on the sidewalk
Getting rained on in the dark
And its faded friend lies in the gutter
Across the street down in the park

I’m no alchemist, only a sinner biding time
Can’t spin your sorrow into gold
But sir, I can spare a dime

Everyone just wants someone to hold
Tell them we can make it through
I don’t have all the answers
But I sure as hell have you

There’s a graying man beside a river
Tossing pebbles just to see them fall
And the stones feel as cold as the cancer
That kept his wife from growing old

I’m no alchemist, only a sinner biding time
Can’t spin your sorrow into gold
But sir, I can spare a dime

Everyone just wants someone to hold
Tell them we can make it through
I don’t have all the answers
But I sure as hell have you

There’s a preacher boy waiting at the station
Packed up to leave those Carolina skies behind
Cuz he knows if he lets his lover go
He’ll look back on this moment for the rest of his life
Because

Everyone just wants someone to hold
Tell them we can make it through
I don’t have all the answers
But I sure as hell have you

There’s a fine line between
Getting burned and catching stars
We’re all trying to hide our battle wounds

There’s a fine line between
Who we love and who we are
We’re all just looking for the other shoe
