if only your heart was warmer than your skin
then i could begin to tell you how i feel
because, if i tried, you wouldn't listen anyhow.
on that other night
i tried to say something to you.
a few words, and you,
just closed your eyes and turned away.

Chorus:
now you're gravel in my shoes
on this dirt road that i walk
now you're gravel in my shoes
on this dirt road that i walk......
in no particular direction

if maybe, you came along,
walked in these shoes just for a day
you'd see, not me, but how i saw your face
take a look, into your eyes,
and watch them look away
no answer at your door,
when i knocked three times and paced
