"i traded our green grass for cactus and rocks on the lawn
threw out my old red bulldog sweatshirt, the one you always had on
two golden rings are stuck way in the back of a drawer
along with the pictures i can't bear to see anymore"

I loved these particular lyrics, but the whole song is beautiful. I cried. Well done - that doesn't happen so often any more.

You have this particular voice that is recogniseable a mile away ... no-one can beat you at what you do, and this kind of song is easily something you excel at, i.e. that kind of experienced, mature voice - looking, somewhat wryly, back over the years - understating things and letting them speak for themselves. Most importantly, you've moved me - and, I suspect, many more - to tears. Well done.
