Pocket Full of Cents

I found a penny in my coat From a coat I never wore Blue paint on the sidewalk And a key in the fruit drawer Your note was folded tiny Said “meet me by the tree” I laughed at how it landed Like a dare you gave to me So I spun it on the table Watched it wobble, watched it stay One small thing can turn the room And pull the floor away Pocket full of cents Pocket full of cents I keep the little change (keep the little change) Pocket full of cents Pocket full of cents Some small thing always stays (always stays) A bus bell rang at noon time A dog chased down a hat The baker handed me two rolls Said, “Just keep the change for that” I missed you in the corner At the red checkered booth But then a yellow paper Made me smile like a fool So I spun it on the table Watched it wobble, watched it stay One small thing can turn the room And pull the floor away Pocket full of cents Pocket full of cents I keep the little change (keep the little change) Pocket full of cents Pocket full of cents Some small thing always stays (always stays) Maybe that’s the trick of it A spark inside the mess One bent coin, one crooked line One yes inside a no Pocket full of cents Pocket full of cents I keep the little change (keep the little change) Pocket full of cents Pocket full of cents Some small thing always stays (always stays) Pocket full of cents Pocket full of cents I let it lead me home (lead me home)
