Iron & Wine
Quarters in a Pocket
[Verse 1]
Like the setting sun, and more than anyone
You look warmer when you're sinkin' down
Find your favorite tree, come sit next to me
I've a sheet that's softer than the ground

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
