Throwing Pennies

Stark and bare, low winter light

I make do for shelter, I see my breath most nights

I broke my ties, with the folk at home

I weigh my heart, with an anchor made of stone

And it came to pass, I find myself here

With you in my arms, no loneliness I fear

Thrown around, throw in a pound

Slow down, throw a penny to the man on the ground

The tarmac's a blanket, it warms the stony earth

The scholars know knowledge, will show the world their worth

We the unwanted, who love these mortal souls

If there's a net meant to catch us, it's riddled with holes

You my friend, you'll never falter

As long as you live , you'll never alter

Thrown around, throwing a pound

Slow down, throw a penny to the man on the ground

Thrown around , throwing a pound

Slow down, throw a penny to the man on the ground
