Penny On The Floor

(album: The Clarks - 1991)

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 trying 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 standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just once a life

There's a penny on the floor and and i'm strong
I'll try to carry on
Realizing no one can take your place

There's a penny on the floor and and i'm fine
I know it's gonna take some time
Before i look at you without looking at my own face

Penny on the floor i'm tired of the war
Penny on the track are you coming 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 standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just once a life

There's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around it won't bring me down
