Hairpin from Roesy (2010) by Roesy

There’s a stone in my shoe,
And I’ve had quite a few.
The party’s long over,
The walk’s knocked me sober.

I see you at the hairpin,
Dancing in a drain with the moon.

I stop dead in my tracks
And crouch, hunker low.
There’s two lights ‘round you dancing,
My heart’s quick-time marching.

I see you at the hairpin,
Dancing in a drain with the moon.

Deep root notes on a bass baritone
Shake the leaves where I’m standing.
Raindrops abandon.

I see you at the hairpin,
Dancing in a drain with the moon.

There’s mornings I don’t even wanna tie my laces,
I know my walking be outta time.
Tonight will end, I know—
Just pray tomorrow won’t blow
Ill wind that squanders the light.

There’s a stone in my shoe,
And I’ve had quite a few.
The party’s long over,
The walk’s knocked me sober.

I see you at the hairpin,
Dancing in a drain with the moon.

There’s mornings I don’t even wanna tie my laces,
I know my walking be outta time.
Tonight will end, I know.
I pray tomorrow won’t blow
The ill wind that squanders the light.

'Cause there’s a stone in my shoe,
I got a stone in my shoe,
There’s a stone in my shoe.
