Olivia Chaney - Loose Change lyrics

He came, he went He conquered her that night Before he took flight Chauffeured from responsibility Competitive child Beneath a fertile, chestnut tree Even when she tied his laces He did not thank me Swinging her best shot He retold his bad jokes Side by side on the pavement Lost his phone heading home His tail between their legs She waved him farewell Behind wound-up, tinted gla** Could not return from whence they came The open sky would only cause more pain So she took the high road With the Laundrettes The betting shops With the Orthodox Bought rollmops for her friend As the klezmer band marched on Took the coins, politely ran Conviction in her hand Like change, loose change She hears that same refrain Loosely changed It lands, you leave Regain, recede Disbelief suspends the match Fuels her every sense He wills her bare nerves worn to the edge Scores a bed-notch, pound of flesh Yet swore to return Bound in chains We hear that same refrain
