lyrics

BRIGHT PENNY

her flame,
let me explain,
is a gentle rain
that falls a week or maybe longer.
now.

she'll stand
at your command;
take her hand
and Penny burns a little brighter.
now.

through veins
the fountain drains;
in city squares the pennies stare
a little brighter.
now.

so many ways
on sad days.
so many ways
to play ...
a BRIGHT PENNY.

her flame
is not the same;
a withered wrist waits for its kiss
a little longer.
now.

I'll lead you
to the scene
where Penny tests the blackest dress you ever ....
brighter now, you beggar!
brighter now.

so many ways
on sad days.
so many ways
to play ...
a BRIGHT PENNY.

I'll make my wound -
you have one or two, I see,
so this is nothing new.
and tango singers are a virgin's prayer
and they'll make their moves,
but not one,
not a single saviour,
will lift those pennies from your eyes.
(but) maybe I might.
tonight, Penny.
your eyes ...
are bright pennies
