I found a key in the
drain
Bent like a little gold tooth
A busker on Maple and 9th
Played a song that sounded like
truth
You handed me half of your
peach
Said, "Keep the pit for a
while" Now it's rolling around in
my coat Like a coin with
a crooked smile And I don't
know why
small things stay How a chipped-up
cup can carry my day
Pocket full of matches,
pocket full of matches I keep
my fire where I can Pocket
full of matches,
pocket full of matches One spark
and I'm alive again
Alive again
The laundromat clock at a crack
It split the noon in two
A dog in the alley barked
once Then the whole block barked
too
You laughed when the ice cream
fell
Blue streak on your wrist I
watched that messy little scene And
I couldn't look past this 'Cause
I don't know why little sparks
Hit harder than the biggest love
you ever have Pocket full of
matches, pocket full of matches I
keep my fire where I can
Pocket full of matches,
pocket full of matches One spark
and I'm alive again
Alive again
Give me a cracked red cup
Give me a name scratched in
a desk Give me one honest
afternoon And I can make the
rest of your life better Out
of crumbs and paper clips Out
of sidewalk wind Out of one
small hand reaching in Yeah,
to start again
I can start again
Pocket full of matches,
pocket full of matches I keep
my fire where I can Pocket
full of matches,
pocket full of matches One spark
and I'm alive again
Alive again
Pocket full of matches,
pocket full of matches I keep
my fire where I can Pocket
full of matches,
pocket full of matches One spark
and I'm alive again
Alive again
I hope I get to see
you again
Let's get drunk up with you
and see how you feel
Love you all my heart Ever
since I met you in the
pool With your music playing old
country soul
