Jason Atkinson - Passion and Pennies Lyrics

I can smell the coffee brewing
She always wakes up first
The blinds reveal slivers of sun
Whose bright yellow rays I curse

But the sound of her voice brings me to
Wake up sleepyhead, there's so much to do

Another long day of mining
For some California gold
Looking for the silver lining
In between our highs and lows

We work hard and save for a rainy day
Dreams and spare change fill our piggy bank
With riches of love beyond belief
Yeah, cause we keep running on
Passion and pennies
Everything we have is all we need
Passion and pennies
What really matters is free

When she's lying next to me
There's no place I'd rather be
We'll fall asleep woolgathering
About winning the lottery
Or living the life of Riley

We work hard and save for a rainy day
Dreams and spare change fill our piggy bank
With riches of love beyond belief
Yeah, cause we keep running on
Passion and pennies
Everything we have is all we need
Passion and pennies
What really matters is free

In the land of broken dreams and palm trees
Neither of us have the need
For any more shiny, plastic things
It's the love we feel that's real

We work hard and save for a rainy day
Dreams and spare change fill our piggy bank
With riches of love beyond belief
Yeah, cause we keep running on
Passion and pennies
Everything we have is all we need
Passion and pennies
What really matters is free
Passion and pennies
Everything we have is all we need
