"What We Had" lyrics

Gillian Welch & David Rawlings Lyrics

"What We Had"

All my world is changing
I don't know where I'm going
Apartments rearranging
The beggar winds are blowing
Seems like ancient history
You were sleeping and I was driving
While you were lying next to me
I'd scan the blue horizon

I used to dream of something unseen
It was something that I thought I wanted so bad
But now I only want

What we had, what we had, what we had
What we had, what we had
What we had, what we had, what we had

What we had was unspoken
It flowed like wine like music
What we had is broken now
Though we thought we could never lose it

I used to dream of something unseen
It was something that I thought I wanted so bad
But now I only want

What we had, what we had, what we had
What we had, what we had
What we had, what we had, what we had
What we had, what we had
What we had, what we had
What we had, what we had, what we had
