Ten Penny Nails
A half-locked love, a treasure chest
A stolen kiss or a gift for free?
I found the keyhole but lost the chance
In trade for honor among thieves
God knows -- it's hard -- on tippy-toes
With a heart that rattles and hands that shake
Like ten penny nails in a coffeecan
I'm kinda subtle when I'm sneakin up
A sunset walk, some feelings claimed
You held my hand while I held my tongue
But makin love and makin love songs ain't the same
There's one that leaves it most unsung
God knows -- it's hard -- to sing so bold
With a heart that rattles and a voice that shakes
Like ten penny nails in a coffeecan
Just sweet enough to stir things up
Open window, it's come and gone
I missed the time but nailed the place
I've seen you often but none at dawn
It's a light that's missing from your face
God knows -- it's hard -- through lids half closed
While one heart rattles but one head shakes
Like ten penny nails in a coffeecan
Gettin rusty as the days go by
A stolen kiss or a gift for free?
I found the keyhole but lost the chance
In trade for honor among thieves
God knows -- it's hard -- on tippy-toes
With a heart that rattles and hands that shake
Like ten penny nails in a coffeecan
I'm kinda subtle when I'm sneakin up
A sunset walk, some feelings claimed
You held my hand while I held my tongue
But makin love and makin love songs ain't the same
There's one that leaves it most unsung
God knows -- it's hard -- to sing so bold
With a heart that rattles and a voice that shakes
Like ten penny nails in a coffeecan
Just sweet enough to stir things up
Open window, it's come and gone
I missed the time but nailed the place
I've seen you often but none at dawn
It's a light that's missing from your face
God knows -- it's hard -- through lids half closed
While one heart rattles but one head shakes
Like ten penny nails in a coffeecan
Gettin rusty as the days go by
