Lyrics Ten Cents - Al Stewart

Ten Cents

Like an echo in a
Like and in a well
When rain is falling
Like the ocean in a
Like an ocean in a shell
You hear me calling
You can say he didn’t
You can 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 can’t hold on to today
She’ll be a hard act to follow
Ten cents and she’s on her way
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 for
Free and easy is for
Oh it is
You know it is, well
You will ask but she won’t
You will ask but she won’t say
She won’t say
She won’t say
She won’t say
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 on her way
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 on her way
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 on her way
On her way
She’ll be a hard act to follow
Ten cents and she’s on her way
On her way
Ten cents and she’s on her way
Ten cents and she’s on her way
