My Little Treasures

My little treasures I keep close to me They give me so much pleasure And some company Cold beer in warm places Heartbreak and old faces With my little treasures You're more than old bones And some smaller measure I'm never alone Warm beer in cold places Whiskey glass, storm chasers Look at all these stars Look at all these stars Ever do believe it's Jupiter and Mars Look at all these stars Look at all these stars How did we ever get so far from here Lonely eyes They remain for an age And for a time To tell the truth Oh it gets strange The younger I could not follow you The older I misremembers you And for a while I will drink to you And fill my cup with rage With my little treasures You're more than old bones Cold beer in warm places Whiskey glass, storm chasers Look at all these stars Look at all these stars Ever do believe it's Jupiter and Mars Look at all these stars Look at all these stars How did we ever get so far from there To here My little treasures I keep close to me --- My Little Treasures - Richard Hawley
