[00:27.37]Even now I see him walking home at sundown
[00:32.24]He’s whistling rock of ages with his lunchbox at his side
[00:38.16]I still recall the smell of smoke and ashes on his jacket
[00:43.46]And that factory dust was on his shoes the afternoon he died
[00:49.21]I swore I’d never heed that factory whistle
[00:54.79]In a banker’s cage I signed a loan against my future sins
[01:00.73]All the neighbours shook my hand
[01:05.62]And wished me well upon my leaving
[01:09.17]Though my father was a poor man he owned a wealth of friends
[01:13.02]So take these boots that shine like Judas silver
[01:16.84]And all these sad reflections on lost untravelled roads
[01:22.04]While the rain falls on a field of bones and roses
[01:27.73]Give me back my father’s shoes and let me walk in those
[01:45.49]My stroke was good, the deals fell fast end easy
[01:50.69]I hired the sweat of honest men and took the lion’s share
[01:56.39]My wardrobe filled with shirts of silk
[01:59.96]And boots of tender leather
[02:02.36]And I walked in them the halls of power
[02:05.33]But found no comfort there
[02:08.04]So take these boots that shine like Judas silver
[02:12.84]And all these sad reflections on lost untravelled roads
[02:18.62]While the rain falls on a field of bones and roses
[02:23.37]Give me back my father’s shoes and let me walk in those
[02:56.58]Lady lay these boots upon the fire
[03:03.20]’Cause lady now I swear I’ll never wear this pair again
[03:07.84]I meant to stand up straight and tall
[03:11.60]It never was that easy
[03:14.27]Now these soles are stained from walking on the dreams
[03:19.76]Of better men
[03:21.07]So take these boots that shine like Judas silver
[03:24.47]And all these sad reflections on lost untravelled roads
[03:30.13]While the rain falls on a field of bones and roses
[03:35.90]Give me back my father’s shoes and let me walk in those
