When she said,"Don't waste
your words, they're just lies,"
I cried she was deaf.
And she worked on my face
until breaking my eyes,
Then said, "What else you got left?"
It was then that I got up to leave
But she said, "Don't forget,
Everybody must give something back
For something they get."
I stood there and hummed,
I tapped on her drum and asked her how come.
And she buttoned her boot,
And straightened her suit,
Then she said, "Don't get cute."
So I forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs,
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum.
She threw me outside,
I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked.
And after finding I'd
Forgotten my shirt,
I went back and knocked.
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it,
And I tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against . . .
Her Jamaican rum
And when she did come, I asked her for some.
She said, "No, dear."
I said, "Your words aren't clear,
You'd better spit out your gum."
She screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the floor,
And I covered her up and then
Thought I'd go look through her drawer.
And, when I was through
I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you.
And you, you took me in,
You loved me then
You didn't waste time.
And I, I never took much,
I never asked for your crutch.
Now don't ask for mine.

Baby, I'd drive all night just to buy you some shoes, and to taste your tender charms...
Boy that is a beautiful song. Everything about it is pure artistry. And that sax solo by CC is the best in the history of rock and roll.
I used to drive all night with the great San Francisco beauty, Suzy King, listening to that song.
I still love it.

Indeed... Those shoes are something really symbolic to Bruce, I think. And I know for sure that if anyone would dedicate this song to me somehow, I'd know I'd found the love of my life. ^_^

I love this song, in fact The River is one of my favourite albums of all time. I remember when I heard the song on the Reign Over Me soundtrack when Sandler delivers his monologue, great moment. When I get married this is going to be the song I have my first dance to.

This song, accompanied by the bliss of the video is the only thing keeping me together at the seems. Thank you to the person who made it/uploaded it. and thank you to bruce for music that can seem to help us through any problem.
