Close window ** This is a bit of a companion piece to Better Days..... She Remembers (Tim Grimm) she sits there with her hair done, her summer dress is worn the wind whispers through the cornfields of the day that's comin' on she thinks about her husband, she thinks about their farm how it seems like only yesterday, her dreams had just begun (chorus) she remembers all that went before she remembers laughin', runnin' through the corn she remembers every baby being born and him holding her, late at night dancin' cross the floor she holds a box of treasures they found as years went by rocks with holes and arrowheads, feathers fallen from the sky a turtle shell, a robin's nest, wildflowers pressed and dried a simple box of memories that keeps her high and dry it's been three months and counting since her husband passed away she thinks she hears him comin' back a little less each day but she's got no self-pity, it just might be for the best cause he'd been a long time standing when they laid him down to rest (chorus) she knows they'll soon be comin' with a truck to load her things she sits there in the sunrise all alone on the porchswing her children say it's better for her to move to town they just might be right, but it breaks her heart to leave this old farmground this old house has been a teacher, this old house has been a friend it brought her here among us in the corner room upstairs if living is a memory, then all is as it was the end is the beginning, for this home, this farm, this love...
