Yoli’s Shoes

I’ve found myself
in the movin van again
Don’t know where I’m goin,
I don’t know when
Sittin’ here’s put my year on hold,
Achin’ for a path and a reason to go
I’ve held on to what I got for a while
Biding my time and baring a smile
Seeing your doorstep in my dreams
Behind the sheen of everything.
I’ve gone from town to town
And city to city
Lookin’ for a place like you
Shed my things and my old self pity
But I held onto Yoli’s shoes
I called ya once and ya hung up on me
I wondered if this was all
life’s meant to be.
Found my bag and a picture of you,
And walked towards my own truth.
I’ve gone from town to town
And city to city
Lookin’ for a place like you
Shed my things and my old self pity
But I held on
I held on to my own hand
through the aches.
Distance takes
I held my breath in the face of pain.
Distance strains
So I gently called my own name
And I walked through the
pouring pouring pouring
The pouring rain.
I’ve found myself in the movin van again
I know where I’m goin,
the road is my friend
Cause motion is what I want to know,
Bein’ on a path with a reason to go
