quarters in a pocket

Iron & Wine

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
Discovered accidentally
