What I Remember Songtext
von Patty Griffin

Here′s what I remember
It really was that tender
The day I gave my heart away
The day that I surrendered

Here's the thing that I recall
We never had that much at all
I never knew until the fall
Before I never cared at all


I′ve started to know what they mean
Everything is just a dream
A string of memories and steam
And disappearing days

Life is a foreign land
Impossible to understand
Once we had the precious bird in hand
And let him slip away

Here's the thing I recollect
The place was a little derelict
You added poison to the wine
I told myself that it was fine


You said this is just the way things are
As long as anyone remembers when
I started to agree
And then I started to remember
