Penny in a Stream
(Clare’s Song)
By Tor Hyams and Lisa Rothauser

Verse
I thought I saw your eyes, on someone else’s face
On the lower east side between Orchard and Allen
There were stars in the sky
And a DJ spinning Journey.
Where you said goodbye for the last time.

Pre chorus
And Oh, you played it smart
I’m the one that fell apart
I can still hear you laughing.

Chorus
Try it all, jump to fall,
Never looking down.
Born to fly
In the light
Never touch the ground
I saw your reflection in a dream
Like a penny in a stream.

Verse
A chill was in the air, the end of December
We thought we’d live forever, angels in the snow
You held my hand and said you’d be okay
You were moving to LA in the new year

Pre chorus
And Oh, you played it smart
I’m the one that fell apart
I can still hear you laughing.

Chorus
Try it all, jump to fall,
Never looking down.
Born to fly
In the light
Never touch the ground
I saw your reflection in a dream
Like a penny in a stream.



Bridge
(“Home….”)
If I had three wishes, this is what they’d be…
A pair of wings so I could fly with you.
A second chance to be happy
And lastly, I wish I could see your face

Chorus
Try it all, jump to fall,
Never looking down.
Born to fly
In the light
Never touch the ground
Try it all, jump to fall,
Never looking down.
Born to fly
In the light
Never touch the ground

You walked the line,
Wasted no time,
You were born to shine,
Unseen….
Like a penny in a stream.
