Gentle

swells)
I
watched
you
counting
pennies
by
the
dim
light
of
the
moon
Keeping
every
nickel
in
a
dusty
wooden
spoon
You
say
it’
s
for
a
rainy
day,
a
hedge
against
the
cold
But
sweetheart,
love
is
worth
much
more
than
silver
or
than
gold
You
hold
your
secrets
tightly,
like
a
bird
within
a
cage
But
life
is
just
a
story
on
an
unwritten,
empty
page
I
don’
t
want
your
fortune,
honey,
I
don’
t
want
your
store
I
only
want
the
pieces
that
you’
re
hiding
by
the
door.
Oh,
open
up
those
hands,
let
the
tension
fall
away
There’
s
no
use
in
saving
sunshine
for
a
dark
and
lonely
day
If
you
love
me
like
you
say
you
do,
then
let
the
walls
come
down
Love
is
meant
for
spending,
not
for
keeping
safe
and
sound
Yeah,
love
is
meant
for
spending,
not
for
keeping
safe
and
sound.
You
treat
your
heart
like
currency,
you’
re
afraid
to
pay
the
cost
You
calculate
the
sorrow
of
the
things
that
might
be
lost
But
a
life
lived
in
a
fortress
is
a
life
that’
s
never
known
The
sweetness
of
a
harvest
that
is
shared
and
freely
grown
I
see
you
check
the
balance
of
the
kindness
you
can
give
But
that’
s
not
how
a
lover
learns
to
truly,
deeply
live
It’
s
the
moments
that
we
squander
on
a
laugh
or
on
a
touch
That
add
up
to
a
treasure
that
we’
ll
never
lose
too
much.
Oh,
open
up
those
hands,
let
the
tension
fall
away
There’
s
no
use
in
saving
sunshine
for
a
dark
and
lonely
day
If
you
love
me
like
you
say
you
do,
then
let
the
walls
come
down
Love
is
meant
for
spending,
not
for
keeping
safe
and
sound
Yeah,
love
is
meant
for
spending,
not
for
keeping
safe
and
sound.
Put
down
the
heavy
ledger,
leave
the
tally
at
the
gate
It’
s
never
been
about
the
numbers,
it’
s
never
been
about
the
weight
Just
reach
across
the
table,
take
a
breath
and
look
at
me
And
be
the
man
I
know
you
are,
so
beautifully
free.
So
let
the
coins
go
rolling,
let
them
scatter
on
the
floor
We’
ve
got
a
wealth
of
quiet
moments
behind
this
bedroom
door
I’
m
not
asking
for
your
taxes,
I’
m
not
asking
for
your
pride
I’
m
asking
for
the
gentle
man
you’
re
keeping
locked
inside
Because
the
stingy
heart
is
hollow,
and
the
giving
heart
is
full
And
darling,
you’
re
the
center
of
my
gravitational
pull.
Oh,
open
up
those
hands,
let
the
tension
fall
away
There’
s
no
use
in
saving
sunshine
for
a
dark
and
lonely
day
If
you
love
me
like
you
say
you
do,
then
let
the
walls
come
down
Love
is
meant
for
spending,
not
for
keeping
safe
and
sound
Yeah,
love
is
meant
for
spending,
not
for
keeping
safe
and
sound.
Just
let
it
go,
let
it
flow
My
heart
is
yours,
you
ought
to
know
Open
hands,
open
heart
We’
ve
had
this
treasure
from
the
start (
