I Remember Loving You Songtext
von Utah Phillips

I look at my brown suitcase
Think of all the places that I′ve been
Railroad yards and prison guards
All the dumpy little towns along the stem
And the whispering of the people
As they watch every move that I go through
I remember all these things
Mostly I remember loving you

I remember loving you
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you


The buckskin smells so the people tell
As we huddled in the boxcar from the rain
Flashing lights that cut the night
The railroad bulls that pulled us off the train
When the winter's cold and the norther blows
I′m huddled in the corner 'til I'm blue
I remember all these things
Mostly I remember loving you

I remember loving you
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you

Winter streets where the frozen sleet
Comes soaking through the cardboard in my shoes
Where the promised land might be a place
Where a man could find free cigarettes and booze
And the alleyways full of ragged strays
The doorway wine I tell my troubles to
I remember all these things
Mostly I remember loving you


I remember loving you
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you
I remember loving you
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you
