All I Left Behind - Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt

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…
