Who Wears These Shoes Songtext / Lyric

Who Wears These Shoes

music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
album Breaking Hearts 1984


there's a light on in your window
there's a shadow on the street
two silhouettes tell me it's over
the shadow knows the shadow's me

I won't crawl or cause you trouble
well that's the last thing I'll ever do
but before I leave your life completely tell me
who wears these shoes

Lord knows the days just get longer
the nights grow cold with you on my mind
and I feel like an old jukebox
playing the same song all the time

if these crazy dreams don't kill me
it's more than I can take from you
now knowing where or when I'll see you
not knowing darlin
who wears these shoes

my friends all say don't go to pieces
I say that's fine but if I lose
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

my friends all think I must be crazy
I face the facts but if it's true
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

and it's a chilling feeling
when I can't see him
oh what do I do
what do I do
and it's a chilling feeling
when I can't see him
oh what do I do
what do I do

my friends all say don't go to pieces
I say that's fine but if I lose
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

my friends all think I must be crazy
I face the facts but if it's true
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

come on now
I've got the blues
come on now
I'm not to lose
I got the blues
I wanna know
who wears these shoes
