Wishing Well Lyrics

In a hotel lobby in Kansas City there's a wishing well

It's filled with pennies that once were dreams of the clientele

The water smells like copper and chlorine

The bottom of the pool is painted green

Seems a fitting place to drown my dreams

Drop them in and watch them shimmer down to the bottom

Checked in on Friday, a room for one with a double bed

The second pillow looks like a snow-covered meadow waiting for a second head

And it glows in the blue light from the tv

And the minibar is stocked with J&B

Seems a fitting way to drown my dreams

Drop them in and watch them shimmer down to the bottom

It might seem silly, but I threw a penny in the wishing well

I know dreams and wishes are not going to fix this but I figure what the hell

It's a small price to pay for a fantasy

A wish that I could rewrite history

And this old broken heart's no good to me

I'll drop it in and watch it shimmer down to the bottom
