I left my shoes by the old oak tree
Running barefoot felt like being free
The ground was cold but the stars were fire
Each step a spark each breath desire
I don’t know why I stayed so long
But every silence begged a song
That is why I never cry
That is why I touch the sky
That is why I leave the door wide open
That is why I keep on hoping
The moon hangs low like a paper kite
Tangled strings in the winds of night
I chase its glow like a foolish thief
Stealing moments brief relief
That is why I never cry
That is why I touch the sky
That is why I leave the door wide open
That is why I keep on hoping
Why does the world keep spinning slow
Why does the heart refuse to let go
I don’t know I don’t know
