Jewel One Left Shoe
Under the spotlight, the neon kiss
Carnival barkers preen & twist
Three for a quarter, 2 for a dime
Broken hearts general store--open all the time
Chorus:
I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you
Tennis shoes strung across a telephone wire
The sun sneaks up on my empire
Tent for your castle with a bubblegum crown
Me & my minions make the rounds
I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you
Bridge:
I'm a little cocoon just blooming for you
I draw a deep breath, the day is new
I'm brave, I'm a hero, the world's bright & clear
But my insides shrivel when you're not here
Newspaper pile on my front porch
The sun is winding up, it's starting to scorch
The air is dust & lungs are hot
I keep making love to what is not
I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you
