The Hollister Project - She Asked Me In For Coffee

I used to know this lady who lived just down the street
She was just about eighty and I was just about thirty-three

She asked me in for coffee and I reluctantly agreed
She started talking about her husband
Who she just lost in the spring
I just need a shoulder

And you look like a fine young man, she said
Thank you for all you've done
And I know your time is precious
So I want to thank you for sparing me some

And as the years passed by I'd still visit her some
She'd still have me in for coffee
But this time she'd talk about her son

He died in the war, they said he did his part
And now she's all alone
She's dying of a broken heart

And you look like a fine young man, she said
Thank you for all you've done
And I know your time is precious
So I want to thank you for sparing me some
