Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Maple leaves have gathered on the garden path Faded lace on pillows, shadows in the bath Silver spoons forgotten in an ancient drawer Footsteps move so softly through an open door [Pre-Chorus] Dust is drifting golden, settling like snow Buttons in a saucer from long ago [Chorus] Penny for the ghost who hides beneath the stair Old brown shoes by the door, cobweb in her hair She counts the empty teacups, finger on the rim Dreaming of the garden, fading from within [Post-Chorus] Ooh, penny, penny, penny in the pale hallway Ooh, penny, penny, silent as the hay [Verse 2] Yesterday’s newspaper folded by the chair She hums a tune from somewhere, drifting through the air Moonlight on the mantel, shadows start to creep Clutching to the photograph, secrets that she keeps [Pre-Chorus] Windows rattle softly, pages blow about Someone left the attic door open now [Chorus] Penny for the ghost who hides beneath the stair Old brown shoes by the door, cobweb in her hair She counts the empty teacups, finger on the rim Dreaming of the garden, fading from within [Post-Chorus] Ooh, penny, penny, penny in the pale hallway Ooh, penny, penny, silent as the hay [Bridge] Hall clock chimes eleven, dust upon the sill Traces of her footsteps linger, faint and still Mirror in the hallway, glancing back in time Ribbons on the doorknob, faded by design [Outro] Evening air grows colder, lamps begin to glow She tiptoes through the wallpaper, soft and slow Somewhere in the rafters, laughter tucked away Penny for the ghost, until the break of day [Post-Chorus] Ooh, penny, penny, drifting where we lay Ooh, penny, penny, dreaming worlds away [Coda] Crickets blink in corners, curtains softly sway Footfalls on the landing, memories at play She traces little patterns, pale upon the wall Whispering her story where the shadows fall [Post-Chorus] Ooh, penny, penny, silver in the gray Ooh, penny, penny, never drifts away [Tag] Clock hands slow to ticking, dust across the pane She lingers in the hallway, calling out a name Fragile little laughter curling in the gloom Sunrise paints her shadow dancing through the room [Final Post-Chorus] Ooh, penny, penny, gentle as the dew Ooh, penny, penny, waiting here for you [Reprise] Dawn wraps her in silence, shivering and thin Colors fade in sunlight, everything begins Petals on the threshold, drifting to the floor She drifts beyond the window, softly evermore [Post-Chorus] Ooh, penny, penny, echo through the blue Ooh, penny, penny, morning breaks anew [Soft Outro] Now the clocks are quiet, teacups put away Cobwebs catch the sparkle in the golden day If you listen gently, footsteps on the stair Penny for the ghost, still lingering there [Echo Outro] Shadows trace a pathway, silver in the frame Tea grown cold on tables, sunlight says her name Curtains catch a fragrance lingering in June Somewhere past the staircase, humming an old tune [Quiet Post-Chorus] Ooh, penny, penny, listening in the shade Ooh, penny, penny, memories never fade [Final Tag] Single feather resting, drifting to the tile Her story in the corners, waiting all the while Soft as dust in moonbeams, light upon the eaves Penny for the ghost, only she believes
