“Satin Shoes” is what happens when your wife accuses you of cheating on her in a prior lifetime. (True story)

lyrics

You say that we were lovers in the sixteenth century
A landed lord in England was I then
And you a lovely maiden of nobility and grace
Your reputation sullied in the end
You say the day I left you, that you
wore pink satin shoes
Intently fixed upon them as I fled
And you a lovely maiden of nobility and grace
Standing there – wishing you were dead
When will you wear your satin shoes?
When will you wear your lace?
And will you love me once again
When we leave this place?
You become a lover with each rising of the moon
But you become a stranger at its wane
And you’ve become a prisoner to the
passage of this place
Not knowing what to do to ease the pain
Well, I can’t see the vision in the
stillness of the night
And I can’t hear the quiet of the day
But I can feel a passion and a love I can’t erase
This I know with you I’ll always stay
