skates - hayden lyrics

Loading...

when i was younger, a part-time job worker
department store center, i saw a man enter
he was middle-aged, deep lines on his face
tight mouth and eyes glazed, eyelids just half-raised

and i looked at him, he looked at me
he looked so sad, i had to see
what did he want, what could it be
what had he been through before me
seeing him in the store i worked for that year, that year

ice skates he asked for in the middle of summer
he wanted a good pair, the price he did not care
i looked for his size, our best pair he tried
custom back and sides, excitement in his eyes

and i looked at him, he looked at me
he looked so sad, i had to see
what did he want, what could it be
what had he been through before me
seeing him in the store i worked for that year, that year

i asked are you a pro, he looked sad and said no
these skates are my last hope, without them i cannot cope
and he said my wife, she drowned this summer
behind our house, the river took her, i cannot swim
i need to find her, i will wait till it freezes over

and then i will skate, as far as it take
i will skate as far as it takes, to bring her back home
to bring her back home, to bring her back home, back home
