She Remembers Everything - Rosanne Cash, Sam Phillips

Who knows who she used to be before it all went dark

Was she like a streak of fire, a painted glass, a beating heart?

All the mirrors, all the smoke, she’ll read a thousand times

Versions of the third degree;

yours and hers and mine

I didn’t know her then

My enemy, my treasured friend

Outside this waking dream

She remembers everything

I don’t know her now

My bitter pill, my broken vow

This girl, this bird who sings

She remembers everything

There was a time we looked so fine behind a burning wall

Of larceny and tenderness we had to have it all

Pack up all your troubles now, pack up your new dress

Somewhere there’s a quiet room where thieves like us can rest

I didn’t know her then

My enemy, my treasured friend

Outside this waking dream

She remembers everything

I don’t know her now

My bitter pill, my broken vow

This girl, this bird who sings

She remembers everything

I didn’t know her then

My enemy, my treasured friend

Outside this waking dream

She remembers everything

I don’t know her now

My bitter pill, my broken vow

This girl, this bird who sings

She remembers everything

She remembers everything
