Poco - Down In The Quarter lyrics

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
