Who Wears These Shoes

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Album Breaking Hearts 1984

There's a light on in your window
There's a shadow on the street
Two silhouettes tell me it's over
The shadow knows the shadow's me

I won't crawl or cause you trouble
Well that's the last thing I'll ever do
But before I leave your life completely tell me
Who wears these shoes

Lord knows the days just get longer
The nights grow cold with you on my mind
And I feel like an old jukebox
Playing the same song all the time

If these crazy dreams don't kill me
It's more than I can take from you
Now knowing where or when I'll see you
Not knowing darlin
Who wears these shoes

My friends all say don't go to pieces
I say that's fine but if I lose
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

My friends all think I must be crazy
I face the facts but if it's true
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

And it's a chilling feeling
When I can't see him
Oh what do I do
What do I do
And it's a chilling feeling
When I can't see him
Oh what do I do
What do I do

My friends all say don't go to pieces
I say that's fine but if I lose
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

My friends all think I must be crazy
I face the facts but if it's true
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes

Come on now
I've got the blues
Come on now
I'm not to lose
I got the blues
I wanna know
Who wears these shoes
