David Wilcox - In This Terrerrium слова песни
from Unreleased..............................................In this terrarium lives a librarianSpending her money at the grocery storeAnd there at the grocery store, out from the registerComes a quarter that she`s seen beforeWhen she was young she carved a smileOn President Washington`s jawboneAnd that same quarter last touched her handWhen it bought her an ice cream coneAll those years just disappearAs she remembers watchingThe man at the counter who took her quarterAnd saw George Washington smilingBack in her mind after all this timeBack in her hand is the memoryBack in her life is the childhood smileBack from a lifelong journeyShe carries the groceries with just one handOne hand holds her childhoodWalking along by the ice cream storeThat`s boarded up with plywoodBack in her mind after all this timeBack in her hand is the memoryBack in her life is the childhood smileBack from a lifelong journeySafely locked in a jewelry boxThe smile on the quarter is fadingDead as a worthless drop of leadOnly alive in tradingSo what can she do with a childhood smileAnd what do you do with a treasureSame as you do with the love you getGive it away with pleasureIn this terrarium lives a librarianSending her quarter on a trip once moreInto the register goes the quarterThat shows George Washington smiling..............................................В© David Wilcox, all rights reserved
