Lyrics Tanita Tikaram

Tanita Tikaram

Dust On My Shoes

Put your arms around me, sometimes it feels so cold

'cause it telling me things I already know

every street preacher wants to waste my time

as if I needed lessons in how to live my life

Put your arms around, my heart is shaking

nobody knows the trouble I´ve seen

working so hard when the day is breaking

working so hard while the city sleeps

my body´s so tired and I'm tired of thinking

digging for gold in a land of dreams

I want a chance of the life I'm missing

I wanna know what it means to be free

and I just want to know

what it is to let go

Taking long time to find the right faces

looking for a soul of every small town

traveling light, take in all the right places

don´t wanna stay and be the last around

I gotta call home to the ones that love me

the ones who love me know I'm passing through

I'm on up to the land above me

dust in my hair and dust on my shoes

And I just want to know, what it is to let go

and I just gotta see, how it feels to be free

to be free

Working so hard to come together

working so hard just to live and breathe

trying so hard to make it better

if I trust in you, will you trust in me

they don't know what makes you happy

we can't see the joy you feel

storm clouds up in the skies above me

I don't have faith but I do believe

I just want to know, what it is to let go

and I just gotta see, how it feels

to be free, to be free

to be free, to be free

to be free, to be free, to be free

What it is to let go

how it feels to be free

what it is to let go

how it feels to be free, to be free
