Medicine Like Pennies
I've been saving up my medicine
Like pennies in a jar
And just like pennies
I will spend them all
To visit where you are
And maybe you'll be sad for me,
But I'm missing you too much;
They've been asking me
About when you died,
And if I feel your touch.
I can hear your voice
Inside my dreams
And in the songs you sing,
But now the lines are
Growing moldy
And I can't ever
Feel a thing.
And I am wondering,
Since you have left,
If you think about me, too
Because not a single day
Goes by when I'm
Not thinking about you
And before I close my eyes
And down these wretched pills
I am hoping there's a place
That would give
Us summer chills.
And I'd say don't leave me,
I'd say don't you fall,
I'd say darling, forgive me,
Please,
But you're already gone.
