The Gift

I still know your old landline Called to say you’re on my mind It’s a long-distance call to the phone hung on the wall Inside the house that doesn’t change at all Usual questions overdue It’s not where your mind’s running to You say all your favorite days are forever flown away It’s hard to hear you say that Time isn’t always what you thought But you’re gonna leave this place With it written on your face It’s the only thing that we’ve got And the only thing worth spending in the end It’s the present, that’s the gift You say you miss that Cadillac With me and brother in the back Didn’t know that driving ‘round We’d be writing memories down You say to hold ‘em closer now ‘cause Time isn’t always what you thought But you’re gonna leave this place With it written on your face It’s the only thing that we’ve got And the only thing worth spending in the end It’s the present, that’s the gift Time isn’t always what you thought But you’re gonna leave this place With it written on your face It’s the only thing that we’ve got And the only thing worth spending in the end It’s the present And the only thing worth spending in the end It’s the present, that’s the gift
