The Blues

I walked a lonely mile in your shoes                                                                                                                                    the sadness you carry comes in twos                                                                                                                                         if by chance you find one of a kind                                                                                                                             throw it far from you as I did mine                                                                                                                          walking a mile in this shoe                                                                                                                                                one is heavier than you knew                                                                                                                                           if by chance you find a shoe                                                                                                                                                          throw it far from you as I did mine                                                                                                                                    walking barefoot and blue
