Lyrics
COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS
(Papageorge)

Verse #1:
Hello, Venus, yes, it's me again
Here at your fountain where the water streams
With my broken heart that won't seem to mend
Tossin' COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS

Verse #2:
Can you tell me where did I go wrong
Cause my life's come apart at the seams
Now all that I have to help me along
Are COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS

Bridge:
I wish I knew what it takes to have
A love that will always stay
Though I'm down on my luck
I'm not giving up
Till I find the way

Verse #3:
If you can help me, would you be so kind
Though I'm not a man of great means
But I'll give all I've got if she could be mine
COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS

Repeat Bridge

Verse #4:
So, I'm gonna stay here if it takes all night
Till the first ray of hope starts to gleam
Till my pockets are empty, till my tears are dry
Tossin' COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS
