Hansard, Glen - Pennies In The Fountain Lyrics






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.

    Everytime I think I know every song he made or recorded, then I found new ones. But this makes me so happy and excited!

    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 and got out just in 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.

    ... "A lightning has put out of service the main television's antenna, so my mother she's in the basement room to watch the little dinner time show of national television, she go mad for that
    I take this opportunity, the first floor room is empty and free, I take off the protective nylon, I get into the living room, holding carefully the vinyl, I turn on the record player and a healing music starts....
