Roman Coin

Goddamn, here's another gate It's hard for me to read Saint Peter's face I wait on judgement or rebirth Stripped of all that life brought my way Still, the weight of you On my mind Brings me back to Earth Like a Roman coin in my pocket Your love weighs me down from above Like a lock of your hair in a locket Priceless and worthless, my love Render unto Caesar what is his Render unto Mammon and show this This half-forgotten portrait and day Surender unto memory and fate Take these coins From my eyes Heaven cannot wait Like a Roman coin in my pocket Your love weighs me down from above Like a lock of your hair in a locket Priceless and worthless, my love This is what it all amounts to All the time that I spent with you A foreign book written in dead letters By a hand we can't remember Here I stand at the fountain Talisman was moved by many Hands I can't redeem what we share Deliver us to water as a prayer Like a Roman coin in my pocket Your love like a Roman coin weighs me down from above Like a lock of your hair in a locket Priceless and worthless, my love Priceless and worthless, my love Priceless and worthless, my love
