Lyrics
Well, you never said so for sure,
You?re not the complainin? kind-
But I don?t think you felt secure
That you had first place in my mind.
Well, maybe you weren?t always there,
But one thing I know is true -
You had to know how much I cared
When I brought these tokens to you.
I never failed to bring you feathers -
I?d find them, bring them home to you -
For those splendid dream catchers -
The ones you never got to do.
But now there?s just a box of feathers
Gatherin? dust there on the shelf -
Full of wisps of love gone by
From the days I called you mine -
Guess I?ll save it for myself -
After all, it?s just a box of feathers.
Things aren?t always what they seem -
These prove that you were thought of -
No gaudy bauble from some magazine
Could better show how you were loved.
Now, one thing I?ll never forget
Though we are so far apart
You taught me that no one can set
A value on gifts from the heart.
So I?ll keep this box here with me
I never could throw it away -
And you know how safe it will be
Just in case you need it some day.
Repeat Chorus
