Lyrics

[female

vocals] (

Gentle

acoustic

guitar

picking,

soft

cello

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 (
