paroles de chanson I Remember Loving You - Priscilla Herdman

I Remember Loving You
Priscilla Herdman and Utah Phillips

I look a these old letters
And postcards from where you've been
From the towns you find on the railway line
And the dirty backroom jails that you've been in
And the whispers of the people in the town
You've been here and they knew
Yes I remember all these things
But mostly I remember loving you.

I look at my brown suitcase
Think of all the places that I've been
Railroad yards and prison guards
All the dumpy little towns along the stem
And the whispering of the people
As they watch every move that I go through
I remember all those things,
Mostly I remember loving you.

I remember loving you
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you

Ah the buckskin smell that I knew so well
When you'd hold me in your arms all in in the rain
The night you came from a westbound freight
You were passing through and you said you couldn't stay
Just an hour we shared and you said you cared
And you'd come again the next time you were passing through
Yes I remember all those things,
But mostly I remember loving you.

The buckskin smells so the people tell
As we huddled in the boxcar from the rain
The flashing lights that cut the night
The railroad bulls that pulled us off the train
When the winter's cold and the Northern blows
I'm huddled in the corner 'til I'm blue
I remember all these things
Mostly I remember loving you

I remember loving you
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you
When the northern blows and I'm lying cold in my bed
And I can't sleep with thoughts of you
And you're out somewhere in a jungle camp
Or a boxcar and you're freezing till you're blue
Close by your side everywhere you ride
And you're with me in everything I do
Yes I remember all those things
But mostly I remember loving you

The winter streets where the frozen sleet
Comes soaking through the cardboard in my shoes
Where the promised land might be a place
Where a man could find free cigarettes and booze
The alleyways full of ragged strays
The doorway wine I tell my troubles to
Yeah, I remember all these things
Mostly I remember loving you
I remember loving you,
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you

I remember loving you
Back when the world was new
And I think you loved me too
I remember loving you
