Paroles: Shel Silverstein. I Gave Her Comfort.

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 know 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.
