Sky was blue, blue as you
As me just trying to make it through
Sun goes down here way too soon
And me I read the news

Wind does blow and makes it cold
As ice inside a heart untold
Winter comes here way too soon
And me I’m losing you

Pennies fall from a blown out pocket
I don’t notice like I used to
Once were worth their weight in gold
Worth their weight so I was told

Snow is cold hurts my face
Can’t seem to walk out there with grace
Old man comes up here way too soon
And me broken in two

Ground is frozen to the bone
A heaving shelter of my own
Friends are talking way too soon
And me no tears ‘til June

Pennies fall from a blown out pocket
I don’t notice like I used to
Once were worth their weight in gold
Worth their weight so I was told

River running through here madly
I walk out to meet it oh so gladly
Song for sixpence gone way too soon
A penny for this tune
