Last Year's Shoes - The Mutton Birds

There’s a thin strand of winter inside

This long summer hillside

No matter how hot it gets

Even when the leaves are hissing static

Somewhere there’s a cold heart beating

Beating slow and measureless

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels to find love?

You had a strange year, didn’t you?

People only too happy to take

What was there for the taking

While you traveled into every state

Except the obvious

Whatever were you thinking?

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels to find love?

Now when the old feelings roll

You won’t get caught in the undertow

You’re going to stand in the sand

And watch them go

Lace up last year’s shoes and see how they feel

You’re not the same person anymore

There’s something new about you

A thin strand of winter in you

Something that wasn’t there before

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels to find love?

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels?

Is this how it feels to find love?

Is this how it feels?
