Oar (of A Revolution) - Rhythm Of Your Shoes Lyrics
It all began that summer day when the rain came pouring down.
You were being you and I was being me,
But Ill never forget the way you smiled at me, you smiled at me.
When you dropped your groceries on the floor and I bent to help you out,
You touched my hand, the way you did and Ill never forget how.
You were you and I was me, and now youre my one,
And we spent the afternoon in love with someone, and it was you, and it was you.
Chorus
Oh, I could have been the king of many things, but now Im not, because of you.
Yeah, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you,
And them things you do, oh, the rhythm of your shoes, I love the way you move.
So on and on those days became the fall,
And I havent seen you, woman, not all.
Yeah, I stare out of my window at Greenwich Street today.
Yeah, I hope you come back and walk my way.
Oh, the way you used to walk, remember clear,
Down the ally ways and all around here.
And I hear your shoes on the ground and every day I know,
That youll come back soon, I hope you do, I hope you doI know you will.
Chorus
Yeah, I could have been the king of many things but now Im not, because of you.
Oh, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you,
And them things you do, I hear the rhythm of your shoesthe way you move.
Im an older man, Ive lived my days in wonder.
Will she ever come again, will she come again?
I havent locked eyes with another.
Oh, Ive lived my days inside my place, staring out.
Or the way you used to smile and slam my door,
The way you left my room that day, you slammed my door.
And Ill never forget the sounds of you,
Or the clickclack down the hall, the rhythm of your shoes, of your shoes
Yeah, of your shoes.
Chorus
Oh, I could have been the king of many things, but now Im not, because of you.
Yeah, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I could have been the king of many things, of many things, many things.
Yeah, I could have been somebody, but I was just a body to you, and them things you do.
I hear the rhythm of your shoes, the way you move.
Its winter now, I could have sworn.
Deep inside my place its feeling warm.
Out the corner of my eye I think, I see this woman smiling.
I recognize those eyes, I do.
Or the way you work that sidewalk,
Or the way you walk I know its you.
Should I come, or should I say hi, should I tell you hello?
Should I let you know Ive been waiting here for thirty years?
Should I tell you that Ive loved you since that summer day?
Should I tell you that you crushed my life when you walked away?
Oh, Should I tell you that you changed me in every single way?
That I could have been somebody, but I was nothing today?
But, no Ill just sit here, and think about you,
The way you do, the things you do, the walk away
The rhythm of your shoes.
