shoe shine - jim capaldi lyrics

Loading...

five o’clock in the morning
waking up on a cold back street
lifts his head and he’s yawning
shoe shine boy with no food to eat

walks on down to the railway station
maybe find some warmth in a room
he ain’t got no destination
you can hear him sigh in the gloom

shoe shine trying to make a dollar
shoe shine keep the wolf at bay
shoe shine trying to make a dollar
shoe shine shine your blues away

in the heart of the city
you can’t find no peace or joy
a young boy’s life is a pity
he ain’t never had a brand new toy

he puts his face against the window
of a rich store on fifth avenue
his breath is steaming in the ice-cold wind
his little fingers are turning blue

shoe shine trying to make a dollar
shoe shine keep the wolf at bay
shoe shine trying to make a dollar
shoe shine shine your blues away

shine ’em up, shine ’em up
when he’s down in the station
cleaning shoes at five cents a time
he ain’t never had a vacation

and if he did you know it would blow his mind
he’s got a friend named billy
spends his time stealing hub caps from cars
and when the night gets too chilly
they huddle together staring at the stars

shoe shine trying to make a dollar
shoe shine keep the wolf at bay
shoe shine trying to make a dollar
shoe shine shine your blues away
