[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Silver earrings in Wichita
Beaded Moccasins in Tonapah
But I had you so, I just let them go

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Never did my armor feel so thin
Silk was all I had between me and your skin
Like Waterloo, I lost that too

[Verse 5]
And the gold bracelet with my father's name inscribed
On the back by the one who loved him all her life
The way I too could have loved you
[Verse 6]
The 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
