The Lonesome Legless Boot

from Reticent Alien by Justin Wiles

/

lyrics

The lonesome legless boot, abandoned by the river
Its owner made a promise he could not deliver
He said he would return when finished with the river
Then he settled on an island in the middle

Why did you bring me here?
Why did you bring me here?

An open book am I, a soul devoid of a vessel
Instruct your young to pull my tongue and remove me ‘fore they wrestle
By boat or by balloon, step in and make haste ‘cross the river
I’ve been left before, but no more, no sir, you’re wearing me forever

But why would you bring me here?
Why would you bring me here?
Why would you bring me here?
