lyrics

Slippers

her innocence still touched me
her open heart as well
i knew what had savaged her
those childhood hounds of hell

i offered some protection
we kept each other safe
she walked so determined
a stalwart kind of waif

we lost each other back there
an emptiness that grew
we got used to distance
that nothing could renew

i have got to let her go
a part of me cut loose
we became old slippers
no more that vital juice

we lost each other back there
an emptiness that grew
we got used to distance
that nothing could renew

maybe it’s the best for both
then why this flood of tears
she was my true family
for all those passing years

we lost each other back there
an emptiness that grew
we got used to distance
that nothing could renew 2x plus last line
