All I Left Behind Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Emmylou Harris - Anna McCarrigle) 

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. 

Of all I left behind...
