Lyrics
Roman Coin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Goddamn, here's another gate
It's hard for me to read Saint Peter's face
I wait on judgement or rebirth
Stripped of all that life brought my way
Still the weight of you
On my mind
Brings me back to Earth
Like a Roman coin in my pocket
Your love weighs me down from above
Like a lock of your hair in a locket
Priceless and worthless, my love
Render unto Caesar what is his
Render unto Mammon and show this
This half-forgotten portrait and [?]
So render unto memory and fate
Take these coins
From my eyes
Heaven cannot wait
Like a Roman coin in my pocket
Your love weighs me down from above
Like a lock of your hair in a locket
Priceless and worthless, my love
This is what it all amounts to
All the time that I spent with you
A foreign book written in dead letters
By a hand we can't remember
Here I stand at the fountain
Talisman was moved by many
Hands I can't redeem what we share
Deliver us to water as a prayer
Like a Roman coin in my pocket
Your love like a Roman coin weighs me down from above
Like a lock of your hair in a locket
Priceless and worthless, my love
Priceless and worthless, my love
Priceless and worthless, my love
