Two Copper Coins

Dear sir, sir
Would you please be so kind,
I heard you could find hidden paths
And treasure lost in thoughts for the weak,
They told me you could talk to time,
Oh please sir,
Would you be so kind ?

I have been waiting forever
Even eternal moments couldn’t last
Found my past, the future and this word
They told me you could make broken wings
With dream of the guardians for locked doors,
Oh please sir,
Would you be so kind ?

Dear sir, sir
Please stop for a while in my eyes
I have been told you could bare souls to the sky
Without even face the ground underneath
Oh please sir,
They say you are the guardian of time

But I only have a dream and two copper coins
Would it, will it, oh is it enough
I can not give more,
I had to pay the Ferryman last week
He already gave me two free rides
So I could spare the wild
Just one dream and two copper coins

Dear sir, sir
Would you please be so kind,
See I am just a dreamgirl who has been searching
And no one ever helped me out
They told me you could pass down the dreams
Oh please sir,
Would you be so kind ?

But I only have a dream and two copper coins,
Would it, will it, oh is it enough,
Just one dream and two copper coins

Dear sir, sir
Would you please be so kind,
See I have
This name and this face
But not its heart
