Heavy Boots Lyrics - Mondo Amore - Nicole Atkins

The boots you wear are heavy 

Rest now, I'll wear them for a while 

And as you lie there sleeping 

I'll walk down, and retrace every mile 

All the lines around your eyes 

Show the battles deep inside you 

They are no match for me 

They are no match for me 

They are no match for me 

And what I wouldn't do, 

To wear your heavy boots 

To wear your heavy boots 

To wear your heavy boots 

The sea is wide and angry 

It's merciless, and waits for you to drown 

Your arms are tired from swimming 

The violence is written on your brow 

I will take away the hurtful words 

And swallow them with courage 

They are no match for me 

They are no match for me 

They are no match for me 

And what I wouldn't do 

To wear your heavy boots 

To wear your heavy boots 

To wear your heavy boots 

The warriors are waiting 

For you, outside on the street 

And though you're only waking 

Rush now, you'll never miss a beat 

All the hungry virgin eyes 

With the scorpions in their smiles 

When their greedy fingers rise 

They are no match for me 

They are no match for me 

They are no match for me
