In This Terrarium 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
