What you see and what you're telling me is That I'm running from the truth It's in your eyes And what you do and where you're running to I could catch up to you But I stay a step behind Still I see you try to persuade and I just Can't afford to try no more You told me what your wishing for I told you when my wishes ended 'cause I don't have a pocketful of pennies anymore What you see beats reality You take the ordinary And you set it free Look at me and all I want to be It seems imaginary Dreams have got the best of me Still I see me try to pray and I just Can't afford to try no more I know just what I'm wishing for But don't know when my wishes ended 'cause I don't have a pocketful of pennies anymore
