(Emmylou Harris/Kate en Anna McCarrigle)
|
All I left behind should come as no surprise
|
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eye
|
Only little things inconsequential I could say
|
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
|
Silver earrings in Wichita
|
Beaded moccasins in Tonapah
|
|
But I had you so
|
I just let them go
|
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
|
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
|
The leather boots I bought so many miles ago
|
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
|
Never did my armor feel so thin
|
|
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
|
Like waterloo I lost that too
|
And the gold bracelet with my fathers name inscribed
|
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
|
The way I too could have loved you
|
The spanish shawl I put across the broken shade
|
Of the lamp that lit the room
|
|
That last night near Cour d'Alene
|
Only little things inconsequential I could say
|
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
|
Of all I left behind
|
