A Hill of Little Shoes Lyrics by Coope, Boyes and Simpson

As If...

0

[Verse]
I live in the shadow of a hill
A hill of little shoes
I love, but I shiver with a chill
A chill I never lose
[Verse]
I live, I love, but where are they?
Where are their lives, their loves?
All blown away
And every little shoe’s a foot that never grew another day
[Verse]
If you could find a pair and put them on the floor
Mark a mark in the air, like the marks beside your door
When you were growing
You'd see how tall they werе
[Verse]
And the buckles and the lacеs they could do up on their own
Or almost could with their tongue tips barely showing
Tell you how small they were
[Verse]
And then you'd think of little faces looking fearfully alone
And how they stood
In their bare feet being tall for the last time
Just to be good
And that was all they were
[Bridge]
They were like you in the same year, but you grew up
They were scarcely even here before they suddenly weren't there
And while you got dressed for bed
They did the same but they were led
Into another room instead
[Verse]
I live in the shadow of a hill
A hill of little shoes
I love, but I shiver with a chill
A chill I never lose
[Outro]
And I caught this cold
When I was chosen to grow old
In the shadow of a hill of little shoes
