Quarters in a Pocket Songtext
von Iron & Wine

Like the setting sun and more than anyone
You look warmer when you′re sinking down
Find your favourite 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 favourite clothes and all the pain we know
Came from those you favour 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 missing 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
