This Heirloom and This Memory

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

I'm falling in love with you

I never said I wanted to

But now I'm in too deep

I'm going back to sleep

Soldiers swirl in my head

They tell me that they wish they weren't dead

And I say yes I wish that too

Then I hand the soldier the laces of my shoe

Confidence and hope are key

There's nothing that they'll give us for free

Except a little more load on our back

Though I'm not sure it's really them that gave us all that

The careless lovely life of the breeze

Reminds us that existence is a tease

Here and then gone so fast

Only this heirloom and this memory will last
