Lyrics of Pennies For Your Thoughts (David Keough) by Great Irish Pub Songs
When you′re standin' by the ocean,
And you′re lookin' to the west,
Like an old man once told me,
There's a feelin′ that you get.
When that feelin′ is of sorrow,
And of love, and laughter dies,
I'll play seashells to your ears and
Put pennies on your eyes.
Now, with those seashells you will hear
All the tears of the world.
With those pennies, you will find
Just what life′s really worth.
When I'm standin′ on this headland,
And my spirit's on the sea,
Through the deep blue velvet sky,
A star burns out for me.
But seashells and pennies are all I can give.
You can′t live a life that's already lived.
Well the seashells still sound the same
When the pennies roll down the drain,
And the one that you've loved is dyin′ and driftin′ away.
And the fire that drives you has gone out this day
When your feelin' is of sorrow,
Or love and laughter dies,
I′ll play seashells to your ears and
Put pennies on your eyes.
But seashells and pennies are all I can give.
You can't live a life that′s already lived.
But seashells all sound the same
When the pennies roll down the drain.
And the one that you've loved is dyin′ and driftin' away.
And the fire that drives you has gone out this day.
