A Penny For Your Thoughts

© 2015 Mark Cote

(chorus) a penny for your thoughts
                  a nickel for your time
                  a dime for all the times
                  you gave it all you got
                  just want to make you feel alright
                  a penny for your thoughts

I can feel you running in silence
down those dead-end roads
though hope is dissolving
persistence tells you to go

words going unspoken
to me they sound so clear
crying out is unseen
encased in a tear

(chorus) a penny for your thoughts
                  a nickel for your time
                  a dime for all the times
                  you gave it all you got
                  just want to make you feel alright
                  a penny for your thoughts

hiding behind a summer smile
and model perfect hair
memories cut jagged
through a heart they can tear

but if you find trust in me
maybe I can help you heal
may the bad dreams you see
not turn out to be real

(chorus)
