To think that I'm the kind of guy who ever 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.
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.

Instrumental break.

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.
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.

Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time,

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

Just a comfort, just a comfort in her time,
Fade.
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 comfort...
