Lyrics Budget Shoes - Gord Downie, The Sadies

Budget Shoes

We’re walking through the valley of ghosts
You’re walking through in your budget shoes
My sleeping boots
They slow down the wind
You said, «we get this wrong
It weighs a fortune
It weighs a fortune»
Can’t go to sleep in the valley of ghosts
You won’t take your eyes off my sleeping boots
I dreamed her face
I saw her again
To the disgrace of all
I’m in heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Oh, I awoke in the valley of ghosts
All that remained were your budget shoes
Sleeping boots
They slowed down the wind
They lightened up your dreams
And weigh a fortune
They had been taken
Don’t go to sleep in the valley of ghosts
Can’t get to sleep in these budget shoes
I’m walking home through the valley of ghosts
Can’t do a thing in these budget shoes
