lyrics

A dusting on the trail
memories soiled and pale
footprints bend the blades
of a stolen yesterday

dusting on the trail
abandoned wishing well
a penny for your dreams
sparkling in the spring

well of years
dry my tears
hold my dreams
crystal stream

what’s inside my hand
a penny from the sand
picked up on the trail
from walking my own hell
a penny soiled and pale
ignored by the wishing well
tossed it in the spring
to see what it would bring

Chorus
leaned against the stone
watched the penny I had thrown
shine through the glassy stream
like a golden wedding ring
