The Clarks Penny on the Floor lyrics

There's a penny on the floor and you're gone
The television's on
Have you found another man to take my place?

There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise
I try to see in your eyes
But all I see is a reflection of my face

There's a penny on the floor and you're gone
I'm trying to right what's wrong
A stronger man might do it with more grace

There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise
I look up to the skies
I cry and pray and I stare out into space

There's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just once a life

There's a penny on the floor and and I'm strong
I'll try to carry on
Realizing, no one can take your place

There's a penny on the floor and and I'm fine

I know it's gonna take some time
Before I look at you without lookin' at my own face

A penny on the floor, I'm tired of the war
A penny on the track, are you comin' back?

There's a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the days
That were spent with you, no one can take them away

There's a penny on the floor and it stays
As a tribute to the ways
You filled my soul with courage, hope and grace

There's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around just once a life

There's a penny on the floor and you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye
A woman like you comes around, it won't bring me down
