The Good Things

I watched you pack
I could feel my will go slack
I laid my body down for the vultures on that spring.
It's funny what I miss
About the years we shared our kiss
The smallest pebbles in the stream
I remember the way that she looked when she left that night
All covered in roses...
It must have been roses...
Please let me remember
I want to remember only the good things.
Only the good things.
Only the good things...
I'm out on our land
Watching the bees go plant to plant
And running round with my little hound while the floating falcon screams
One year has gone,
Your garden dirt's gotten soft and warm
And my every shovel fills like cream.
I remember the way that she looked when she left that night
All covered in roses...
It must have been roses...
Please let me remember
I want to remember only the good things.
Only the good things.
It's only the good things that say who we are
It's only the good things that'll reach for a star
It's only the good things, so come as you are.
It's only the good things that shine, whether or whether not.
Only the good things...
Only the good things.
I remember the way that she looked when she left that night
All covered in roses...
It must have been roses...
Please let me remember
I want to remember only the good things.
Only the good things.
