gillian welch & david rawlings - i just came home to count the memories lyrics
[verse 1]
i saw roses choking in the grass flaking paint in a broken window pane
a mailbox barely standin’ by the driveway, i can almost read the name
a swing set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy games
everything i ever cared about is gone now but the memories still remain
[verse 2]
and the old man from the house across the street asked how’s it goin’ and i said fine
the expression on his face would make me think that he could almost read my mind
that johnson boy from down the road was asking if the kids could comе and play
lord, i wish i could have told him yes but i just said i guess son not today
[chorus]
i just camе home to count the memories i’ve been counting in my mind
just came home to count the memories of a better day and time
[verse 3]
all the birds that sang such pretty songs aren’t singing like they did when we were here
cause there’s no happiness in music if somebody isn’t close enough to care
so i picked arranged daisy from its home in the corner of the yard
he loves me, he loves me not, i don’t have to wonder anymore
[chorus]
i just came home to count the memories i’ve been counting in my mind
i just came home to count the memories of a better day and time
i just came home to count the memories, guess it’s time to say goodbye
