Pennies In The Fountain Lyrics by Glen Hansard

Drive All Night

0

The only way to hold on to this love is with an open hand
You told me that the first day we met. I didn't understand
Beneath the broad-beamed boughs, your love changed: a slow coming apart
You moved on and I stayed the same. I was trailing from the start
We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself
We threw our pennies in the fountain and we wished for nothing else
And we wished for nothing else
And through the crossbeams whispers were heard: undoing in every line
And in the fall you flew little bird but I'll see you when it's time
We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself
We threw our pennies in the fountain and we wished for nothing else
And we wished for nothing else
We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself
We suffered heartache after heartache but we wished for nothing else
We wished for nothing else
