"Small Personal Fortune" lyrics

"Small Personal Fortune"

Collecting coal
The moonlight shone
Before the sun in shadows
The trees at night are still in sight
Resting on your shoulders
Will I love or will I long?
And is it for the distance
Beneath us all its true and tall, shining on to lift us

Has spoken round the house
Can always find a face
But it's the tender words that I can't replace

Sit you down and rest
Your weight your job is eternal
To finally admit it
I'm sure you can
'Cause your small personal fortune

Is by the side of the road
And all the things your told
Collected all the moss
And hidden under the grass
That your father said was yours
