David Wilcox lyrics

In this terrarium lives a librarian Spending her money at the grocery store And there at the grocery store, out from the register Comes a quarter that she's seen before When she was young she carved a smile On President Washington's jawbone And that same quarter last touched her hand When it bought her an ice cream cone All those years just disappear As she remembers watching The man at the counter who took her quarter And saw George Washington smiling Back in her mind after all this time Back in her hand is the memory Back in her life is the childhood smile Back from a lifelong journey She carries the groceries with just one hand One hand holds her childhood Walking along by the ice cream store That's boarded up with plywood Back in her mind after all this time Back in her hand is the memory Back in her life is the childhood smile Back from a lifelong journey Safely locked in a jewelry box The smile on the quarter is fading Dead as a worthless drop of lead Only alive in trading So what can she do with a childhood smile And what do you do with a treasure Same as you do with the love you get Give it away with pleasure In this terrarium lives a librarian Sending her quarter on a trip once more Into the register goes the quarter That shows George Washington smiling Get This Ringtone
