Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Things You Gave Me

You gave so many things to remember you by

Like a heart full of emptiness like tears in my eye

When my heartaches all have gone

It will be because you gave me so much leaving alone

I've got everything I need to remember you

I've got all the things you gave me and you gave me quite

a few

Like a heart full of emptiness like tears in my eyes

I got wall to wall of sadness I can walk on while I cry

You gave so many things...

[ banjo ]

Well I wish you hadn't given me this solitude

It's a gift that keeps on givin' after you've gone gone

gone gone

When my heartaches all have gone

It will be because you gave me so much leaving alone
