Cover art for Quarters in a Pocket lyrics by 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
