Wishbone Lyrics

Will she stay, will she go, will she go or will she stay

That's why I called her Wishbone, no I never knew her name

I stepped out to a foggy Monday morning in October

And almost walked right through a spiral hovering in space

It hung between my window and the side of my Toyota

The dew drops clung like pearls to threads as delicate as lace

I said well that's just beautiful but you picked an awful place

I need to get to work and my departure's overdue

I apologized and got inside and slowly rolled away

I ripped out her foundation, tore that spiderweb in two

Will she stay, will she go, will she go or will she stay

That's why I called her Wishbone, no I never knew her name

Well imagine my surprise and shame to come out the next day

To find a new web waiting, oh my guilt came rushing back

When I'd split her world in half she must have held the half that stayed

And undeterred she built it back as lovely as the last

I said this breaks my heart because I have to leave again

I know it will destroy this thing you worked to build all night

So when this breaks in half again here's what I'd recommend

Hang on to the half that leaves, ride off to a better life

Will she stay, will she go, will she go or will she stay

That's why I called her Wishbone, no I never knew her name

I can't say that I blame her when she found another home

But truth be told I'd hoped she'd find a way to stay near me

But I am too unstable And far too prone to roam

It doesn't take four pairs of eyes to see the answer clearly

When I drive I picture Wishbone sailing out there in the wind

Riding to that new life, oh it always makes me smile

The things she makes are fragile but they're made to draw you in

I guess that makes them beautiful, it makes them worth the while

Oh I know she had to go just like she knew she couldn't stay

I used to call her wishbone, no I never knew her name

And sometimes I think I miss her even though I know it's strange

I used to call her Wishbone, no I never knew her name
