wishing well
Wishing well runs wet and dry I wish for things i never had Surrounds and wells up in my eyes The screaming voice, it lies  Wishing well gets someone's attention Every wish you ever had In a day of nights, in the darkest of light Sits and cries, watch the lies  Could you give me a wish if i tell you what i want? Will the price be no object? I wish for dreams of light I live for wishing well surprise  Deepest light, the secret lies Wishing well gives you all that you desire Homes and trains, and the greenest of plains That you ever happened upon  The silent wish, it calls you out Calls you out by name Lays upon the plain, on the mountain high City lights, wish delights  What if the waters and wishes appear? Will the price be no object? I wish for dreams of light I live for wishing well surprise  Twist and shape on the winding twine Around the spindle winds Wish again, four times again Four wishes deep into the well  There's a price to pay for a wish to come true Trade a small piece of your life Roots in the soil, uprooting the soil Mountain high, the mountain high  The wish is only to speak a kind Kind of word, so benign absurd The well, three wishes run dry Wishing well is dry  When no grass grows, the weeds run in line Wish three wishes, three wishes run dry
