(D. Locorriere/S. Silverstein)



To think that I'm the kind of guy

Whoever could have kept her

Would be taking too much credit on myself

And seeing us together you just knew that she'd look better with somebody else



And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me

I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need

Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need



You knew that we had plans for San Francisco in September

But I didn't see California in her eyes

And by the end of summer, someone made a better offer

You know, I'm not surprised



And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me

I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need

Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need



Just a quick goodbye

Nobody's crying, no nobody's crying

I always knew that I was just a comfort

In her time of need



And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me

I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need

Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need



And now she's gone, no-one's surprised least of all not me

I always knew that I was just a comfort in her time of need

Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need

Gave her comfort, gave her comfort in her time, I gave her comfort in her time of need
