Tap Shoes In The Corner Lyrics

Tap shoes sitting in the corner covered in dust

Most of my life is a garden of lust

Most of my time is a willow that weeps

Tears on the poem before the song sleeps

Broken romance on the wings of a smile

Tired eyes retreating while love is on trial

I cannot demand what I cannot envision

I loaded this black empty heart like a prison

Beyond what I live for tapestry drifts

Just like that mansion up on the cliffs

Where it all ends we soon will discover

The world is an atom and I am your lover

Back in the swirl in history's hand

Feeling like I've got a place in the band

Boasting to empty rephrasing of fate

It might be a long time but it's never too late

Shake down the pauper take his last dime

Witness to Jesus blind to a crime

Back in the moisture of yesterday's pain

Time twists an ankle and I make it home

Home is a place that you make for yourself

Lost in a canyon or up on a shelf

Most of my love is a mirror of trial

Not on the bus box or telephone dial

So pull up a chair and I'll spin you a tail

Of where we once wandered when I was in jail

Tap shoes sitting in a corner covered with dust

Most of my life is a garden of lust

Most of my time is a willow that weeps

Tears on the poem before the song sleeps
