Everything You Took Lyrics

Lee Bains Iii & The Glory Fires Everything You Took

It's been a long time coming
And that ain't saying it's yet come to pass
But, baby, we've been keeping these little fires so long burning
I don't think I'd be a fool to think that they'd last

Go on and keep my T-shirts
Go on and keep my books
Because each small hope that you give me
Makes up for everything you took

You can keep my Walker Percy
You can keep that shirt my brother got that time he saw
The Ramones
Because just a small piece of your sweet mercy --
That's the dearest thing I've ever owned

Go on and keep my T-shirts
Go on and keep my books
Because each small hope that you give me
Makes up for everything you took
