Standing At The Wishing Well Lyrics

I found a penny I picked it up and I tucked it into my sock

Scissors cuts the paper and the paper covers rock

Halfway home I was all alone and I finally started to stop

Now I'm standing at the wishing well again

Half of the time there's a nursery rhyme that keeps peeking into my brain

Part of my soul wants to make you whole while the other part's going insane

A beleaguered crew in a wooden shoe is sailing off in the rain

While I'm standing at the wishing well again

Spent a year in a mineshaft looking for a match to light a candle

Spent a year in a prison cell awe hell it was all I could handle

Spent a year on crowded street where the lights were always red

But now I'm running the yellow lights and her memory is almost dead

I'm breaking camp as I rub the lamp and a genie sits on my head

While I'm standing at the wishing well again

Standing at the wishing well again

I found a penny when I got undressed and I thought I'd seen it before

It wasn't much to look at as it lay there on my floor

A copper face that I can't erase but I try so hard to ignore

Now I'm standing at the wishing well again

Half of the night I can feel alright when I'm feeling nothing at all

Part of my heart wants to keep us apart and part of my heart wants to call

All of the king's horses and things can't put me back up on that wall

Because I'm standing at the wishing well again

Spent a year in a mineshaft looking for a match to light a candle

Spent a year in a prison cell awe hell it was all I could handle

Spent a year on crowded street where the lights were always red

But now I'm making the yellow lights and her memory is almost dead

I'm breaking camp as I rub the lamp and a genie sits on my head

While I'm standing at the wishing well again

Standing at the wishing well again

Standing at the wishing well again

Standing at the wishing well again
