Things You'll Keep

Lyrics for Things You'll Keep

Sat outside the darkened house Reading one of your old letters I'd carried it from town to town I sometimes hoped for you Things got better It says" We'e got a place by the river now The rooms are full of light, it's still our town If there's such a thing as a second chance... I want it now." That's what it says Things you keep Some things you were never meant to lose The things you keep Some things the world cannot refuse The things you keep You thought there was a way out So you took it on your hands and knees Oh what if your best days are gone How do you plead? Day to day is a hurting thing You're tired of all beauty now And you said goodbye to your baby face You said it to just about everything Things you keep Some things you were never meant to lose The things you keep Some things the world cannot refuse The things you keep Everybody was skinny then Nobody said you wouldn't win You said goodbye to your baby face And just about everything Things you keep Some things you were never meant to lose The things you keep Some things the world cannot refuse The things you keep Everybody was skinny then Everybody was skinny then And they said you wouldn't hear You said goodbye to your baby face And just about everything How do you plead? How do you plead? How do you plead? How do you plead? How do you plead?
