All I left behind should come as no surprise To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes 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.
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.
