Coin laundry

This song, this video, reminds me of this blog: hjartesmil

What is holding me back? Why can't I grasp it properly and then send it on its way? I want to do this, too. I want to make something and put it out there. I don't want to hide away in my shell of sleep and hurt. I need help.

there I was, sitting on the top
of the world in a coin laundry
well, I could have been royalty
sitting in the palace like a queen

do you have a dollar?
do you have a dollar for me?
have you got a house on a hill
and a bed for tree?

do you have a story?
do you have a story for me?
do you know the one where we all
live happily?

do you? do you?
do you? do you?

so now I'm here, sitting on the edge
throwing these stones to the long lost friends
I could have been a common thief
sitting in the dirt quite happily

do you have a dollar?
do you have a dollar for me?
maybe just an hour or two
and a pot of tea?

have you got a memory?
have you got a memory for me?
tell me about the days when you were
seventeen

do you? do you?
do you? do you?

do you have a dollar?
do you have a dollar for me?
have you got a little old house
and a lemon tree?

do you have a reason?
do you have a reason for me?
can I be the girl that you met
in a coin laundry?

can I be the girl that you met?
can I be the girl that you met?
can I be the girl that you met
in the coin laundry?

can I be the girl that you met?
can I be the girl that you met?
can I be the girl that you met
in the coin laundry?
