	作词 : McCaughan
	I watched the dust pile up around you
	And your hands became so small
	It was clear that year you were waiting
	For way more than a call
	You asked for smoke, you asked for silence
	You rode 'round sofas stuffed with straw
	While the sun burned through the curtains
	All along that western wall
	That scene became a ritual that fall
	That same sun became a ghost
	And when you see you don't believe
	That anyone has any
	Warmth left up their sleeve
	Even your good blood gets dried up
	It gets swept up with the leaves
	To reveal some old graffiti we can't read
	So put a shine on your black shoes
	Push your black buttons through
	I never knew what you could do to you
	Well honey shine your black shoes
	Oh you had some information
	That you turned into a hymn
	That you sang into the answering
	Machines of all your friends
	But they never got the message
	For their ears are all of tin
	We all write letters we never send
	Well now the cyprus stands around you
	And I hope that you feel safe
	It's a painting from an auction
	At some wasted old estate
	Yeah they're always finding life
	They never knew survived this place
	And I hope the sunlight clears the branches to your face
	'Cause when the clouds clear
	The freezing winds come down that mountain's face
	But there are streets we haven't walked
	At night you can see this town from space
	So put a shine on your black shoes
	Push your black buttons through
	I never knew what you could do to you
	Oh honey shine your black shoes
	Push your black buttons through
	You never know what you can do for you
