There’s a penny on the floor and you’re gone
The television’s on
Have you found another man to take my place
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m wise
I try to see in your eyes
But all I see is a reflection of my face
There’s a penny on the floor and you’re gone
I’m tryin' to right what’s wrong
A stronger man might do it with more grace
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m wise
I look up to the skies
I cry and pray and I stare out into space
There’s a penny on the floor and you’re standin' at the door
Turn around and say good bye
A woman like you comes around just once a life
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m strong
I try to carry on
Realize that no one can take your place
There’s a penny on the floor and I’m fine
I know its gonna take some time
Before I look at you without lookin' at my own face
A penny on the floor
I’m tired of the war
A penny on the track
Are you comin' back?
There’s a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the days
That were spent with you
No one can take them away
There’s a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the ways
You filled my soul with courage, hope, and grace
There’s a penny on the floor and you’re standin' at the door
Turn around and say good bye
A woman like you comes around just once a life
There’s a penny on the floor and you’re standin' at the door
Turn around and say good bye
A woman like you comes around
And won’t bring me down
Other than the lyrics and music being great, the Clarks make me feel unusually proud to still be living in the outskirts of the Burgh. Never knew they were from this area til now. Dam, where have I been as a big music buff? DS
