Among the many muted faces You try to find me in the spaces You're drawn to my song You only move to keep from sinking You close your eyes as if your thinking Afraid all along That in my eyes you're so revealing You'll find what you're needing Nothing but pennies in my pocket Nothing but faith to keep me warm But, baby, then I'd be broke without it Tell me, how much for your love Hoping the melody will leave you You walk to where I might not see you Reach out to the wind Looking to catch it for a minute But just to hold it not be in it I've been where you've been Cause some how I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of Nothing but pennies in my pocket Nothing but faith to keep me warm But, baby, then I'd be broke without it Tell me, how much for your love Nothing but pennies in my pocket Nothing but faith to keep me warm But, baby, then I'd be broke without it Tell me, how much for your love Cause somehow I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of Nothing but pennies in my pocket Nothing but faith to keep me warm But, baby, then I'd be broke without it Tell me, how much for your love
