Lyrics
In the drawer you never open
Did you toss it to the river’s tide?
In a box with all my letters
Or do you carry it deep inside?
Where do you keep the ring?
I bought it for you that summer
You spent three weeks on the Rhine
A hundred dollars was a lot of money
Three weeks was a long, long time
Your best friend said you’d never wear it
It looked like a wedding band
But nothing ever looked so right
Sitting right there on your hand
Chorus
You kept it through all our break ups
Though this one’s been for years
You say you’re happier than ever
No fights, no knives, no tears
But maybe you take it out at night
Try it on like it were new
Fall asleep with it around your finger
And dream like I sometimes do
Chorus
