If I had a quarter for all those times
Lonely lovers yearned for Yankee dimes
I'd have enough change to maybe make a change
Stack them quarters forty miles high
Build us a bridge over this cold creek
So love can just freeze and never leap
Hold your heart close keep it open to folks
Let it lead or lead it with hope
A forever tight rope
Sooner than spoke
So steady like a dove
If I had a quarter for all those times
Lonely lovers yearned for Yankee dimes
I'd hand out pamphlets with good advice
Same fourteen words will suffice
Stamped upon twelve pages full
Lean into the love, don't be fickle
Trade those Yankee dimes for quaker nickels
If I had a quarter for all those times
Lonely lovers yearned for Yankee dimes
I'd make an investment and place it in the chest
Of every thought spun
In every heart undone
Lay calm through the storm
In the still you are thrilled
This is real
This is real
This is real
So hold your heart close keep it open to folks
Let it lead or lead it with hope
A forever tight rope
Sooner than spoke
So steady like a dove
If I had a quarter for all those times
Lonely lovers yearned for Yankee dimes
