Pennies Into Gold Lyrics

Payolas Pennies Into Gold

She locks the doors when it starts to rain
There;s diamonds on the window pane
24 carat tears in her eyes
She's got no friends on the telephone
No one to call when she's on her own
She cries herself to sleep at night

Quick, before ye lose control
You can't buy youth and you'll get old
Turning pennies into gold

An empty house is hers tonight
She's sitting in the failing light
Says "This loneliness is killing me"
She wonders 'Where did I go wrong'
She cries out "Why can't I be strong"
The whispers turn to tears

Quick, before ye lose control
You can't buy youth and you'll get old
Turning pennies into gold
