Pennies from Heaven

Bow my head and listen to the rain
The rain sweeps up over the hills from the sea.
Green hills, long hills, vineyard and grassfield;
The rain sweeps up over the hills from the sea.

Give me a penny for luck; give me
Two pennies to lay on my eyes.
Three pennies, and I'd buy you a present
If I only knew where to look.

Give me a penny for look: lift your face:
Listen to the rain. It sweeps up
Over the hills; it brings remembrance
(Green hills, long hills, vineyard and grassfield),

If I only knew where to look. Raise my head,
And the pennies fall, splashing my face;
The pennies run down my cheeks; the pennies
Glisten in the grit of the sidewalk, glisten

In the wet of the rain. Ringle dingle jangle
And the falling water and home.
