lyrics

First Penny Of My Empire

I almost never think of you
Oh it’s all I used to do
They say worry makes the man
But I don’t think that’s what I am

I moved away from everyone
Thought I’d make solitude count
And no one wrote to me or called
So that is what I wrote about

Our love was something
Easy money or hard wisdom
Your strange devotion
All the ages and ages unknown

You’re the first penny of my empire

My life philosophy is tough
Cause all I wanna do is work
But I was never mean enough
For this business not to hurt

Our love was something
Easy money or hard wisdom
Your strange devotion
All the ages and ages unknown

Our love was something
Our love was something good

Our love was something
Easy money or hard wisdom
Your strange devotion
All the ages and ages unknown

Our love was something
Our love was something good

You’re the first penny of my empire
