Ten Cents - Al Stewart

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
