Like waterloo, I lost that too
And the gold bracelet with my fathers name inscribed
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio
Silver earrings in Wichita
The leather boots I bought, so many miles ago
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too could have loved you
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
The Spanish shawl, I put across the broken shade
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Beaded moccasins in Tonopah
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
Of the lamp that lit the room that last night near Coeur d'Alene
But I had you so, I just let them go
Only little things inconsequential I could say
The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Never did my armor feel so thin
