PENNIES TO GOLD by Ajay Mathur & Mary Lou von Wyl - Christian Winiker, Ajay's bandmate and friend, lives out his love for jazz on this intimate, balledesque rendition of a song that was originally released on Ajay's first album A Matter of Time.
lyrics
Coin in a well. No one can tell. Where wishes they end and begin to enlighten your heart’s secret place, and cover with grace, the bittersweet tears that you cry in the deep of the night where you find, love and delight, move into day’s blinding light. How, how can I look in your eyes, open the veil of disguise that’s your pain, what’s there to gain, by hiding the love that you know is the best part of what you could be, try hard to see, and turn your back to the wind. Now, now that I see through your eyes, oh what a pleasant surprise waits for you, wishing wells do turn all your pennies to gold. Now, now that I see through your eyes, oh what a pleasant surprise waits for you, wishing wells do turn all your pennies to gold. Turn all your pennies, to gold.
