Poco - Down In The Quarter lyrics

(paul cotton) Down in the quarterpast anybody's bedtime Anybody anywhere who was halfway out his mind I was sittin' in a rock and roll bar Down from another Just on up the line I was talkin' with a new found friend Who lived his life On river time He was holdin' my attention i could Almost hear the sound How he ran on the mississippi on a tug From the up and down He was rollin' like the river he could have Gone on night and day But i caught myself in midturn and i Never looked away and Could it ever happen again Time awaiting the answer then Lost and found in the city, new orleans Questions in her dark eyes i felt She already knew The answers bringing no surprise Like a spanish moon She was grown up on the music I could only hear at home When she spoke on of the song i sang And how it made her feel So much less alone Pickin' out the pictures that the tune Brought in to mind How it came to me that all along the song was Her for all time Could it ever happen again Time awaiting the answer then Down in the quarter, new orleans Down in the quarter, new orleans Down in the quarter, new orleans Down in the quarter, new orleans
