Kathy Mattea - Quarter Moon Lyrics
(Gillian Welch)Well nothing new has passed this way in a long timeMaybe nothing's ever gonna comeAnd nothing seems to grow outside my windowI think I'd better go and get me someWell, I want to get some of the gold in the hillsThat's making people nervousYou know they get scared of the cold and the chillStart praying God preserve usI can't believe how long I've stayed2 more days till I get paidAnd I'll find that small town boy I'm datingTell him I'm done patiently waitingPatiently waitingI've had fun just holding hands at the movie showAnd I've had good times tearing up the townBut I've spent cold nights waitingOut front of the movie showThinking that half the hands that held me, held me downWell, I want to get some of the gold in the hillsThat's making people nervousYou know they get scared of the cold and the chillStart praying God preserve usI can't believe how long I've stayed2 more days till I get paidAnd I'll find that small town boy I'm datingTell him I'm done patiently waitingSome folks never get their share of the sweet lifeSome just come around a little lateI got this feeling sitting at a stop lightSeems like good things only come to those whoHit the road when they know what they wantWell, I want to get some of the gold in the hillsThat's making people nervousYou know they get scared of the cold and the chillStart praying God preserve usI can't believe how long I've stayed2 more days till I get paidAnd I'll find that small town boy I'm datingTell him I'm done patiently waitingI'm done patiently waiting
