Songtexte Ten Cents - Al Stewart

Like an echo in a, like an echo in a well
When rain is falling
Like the ocean in a, like the ocean in a shell
You'd hear the calling
You can't say she didn't
You can't say she didn't try
Oh she did you know she did but
Now she's gone you don't know
Now she's gone you don't know why
Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why

You can't hold on to tomorrow
She won't hold on to today
She'll be a hard act to follow
Ten cents and she's gone away, gone away

Like the ghost of summer
Like the ghost of summer flies
From fall's embraces
So you know there'll come a
So you know there'll come a time
She'll leave no traces
Free and easy is the, free and easy
Is her way
Oh it is you know it is, well
You will ask but she won't
You will ask but she won't
Stay, she won't stay
She won't stay, she won't stay

You can't hold on to tomorrow
She won't hold on to today
She'll be a hard act to follow
Ten cents and she's gone away, gone away

(Instrumental)

Don't know why, don't know why,
Don't know why, don't know why

She can't hold on to tomorrow
You can't hold on to today
She'll be a hard act to follow
Ten cents and she's gone away, gone away
You can't hold on to tomorrow
She can't hold on to today
She'll be a hard act to follow
Ten cents and she's gone away, on her way

She'll be a hard act to follow
Ten cents and she's gone away, on her way
Ten cents and she's gone away
Ten cents and she's gone away
