Lyrics: Title: Coins and Money Verse 1 Counting pennies in my old tin can Saving up to find you again Got your letter from Boston today And my heart just won't stay away Working late, working early too Every single dime is meant for you Chorus Every coin I save Brings me further from home Verse 2 Remember standing by that bridge back then? Said we'd meet there once again But your life kept moving on and on While I counted coins until dawn Made a promise I couldn't keep Now these savings make me weep Chorus Every coin I save Brings me further from home Bridge The money's here but time moved fast Should’ve known this wouldn’t last Called your number yesterday Someone else had more to say Worked my hands 'til they were sore Just to find you'd closed the door He holds you now in Chicago skies While I chase ghosts and old goodbyes Counting dollars, counting days Lost in love’s forgotten haze All the hopes I tried to keep Now just pennies in a dream Verse 3 Gave my coins all away To the shelter down the way 'Cause no amount of money saved Could bring back those better days Chorus Every coin I saved Just led me far from home (Every coin I saved) (Just brought me here alone)
