quarters in a pocket

like the setting sun

and more than anyone

you look warmer when you're sinkin' down

find your favorite tree

and come sit next to me

i've a sheet that's softer than the ground

this time spent with you feels like charcoal sketches for a painting

that you won't let me see

but i've come to find that comfort comes like quarters in a pocket

i thought were lost to me

all your favorite clothes

and all the pain we know

came from those you favor for a time

take it off your chest

and throw your loneliness

in a surly river

cold and wild

this time spent with you feels like charcoal sketches for a painting

that you won't let me see

but i've come to find that comfort comes like quarters in a pocket

i thought were lost to me

lie about your sign

and hang your worry line

on a missin' poster for a dog

find a promise ring

and blind affinity

for a match the gypsy said was wrong

this time spent with you feels like charcoal sketches for a painting

that you won't let me see

but i've come to find that comfort comes like quarters in a pocket
