A spider in a can of tea, it don't taste too bad
And the salt I put in my yogurt by mistake it tasted sad
It's a precious memory I won't forget

You gave me fruit from off of your tree, I gave you bread and a song
And even if that's all there is, your smile it keeps me warm
It's a precious memory I won't forget

I don't know where this road is going, I only know where it's been
I know I don't know you well, but what I know is this

The song I sung of sun crossing the room brought to your eyes
Memories of days we never shared, but I don't mind
It's a precious memory I won't forget

You said that wasn't what you meant when I drew you running away from me
But all I want to remember is a girl who must be free
It's a precious memory I won't forget
