Lyrics Gord Downie – 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

Can’t go to sleep in the valley of ghosts
You won’t take your eyes of 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 slow down the wind
They lighten 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
