The Boots
"I sell my boots
and go with you on a coach
just to be with you
as you are a handleless door
without me
my sweet little bird
I will sell handkerchieves
at the railroad station
just to be with you as you are a handleless door
without me
my sweet little bird
I will eat without a table
sleep without a pillow
just to be with you...
I will sleep at the railroad station
and wash a floor there
just to be with you..."
