Wishing Tree Lyrics

I spend every night on my knees

In the shadow of a wishing tree

Branches swaying in the evening sun

I sit and think about the things I've done

Oh my darling, oh my gal

Careful what you ask of me

Only thing I'm good for now

Is blowing kisses at the wishing tree

Crossed my heart beside the wishing brook

Trying to salvage what the bad years took

But in the ripples and the dark below

Only answer was an undertow

Oh my darling oh my gal

Careful where you drop your hook

Only thing I'm good for now

Is casting out into the wishing brook

Threw my money in the wishing pool

Just like every other desperate fool

Trying to tempt the gods and change my fate

Just a little too little too late

Oh my darling oh my gal

I love a story where the dream comes true

Only thing I'm good for now

Is throwing money in the wishing pool

Oh my darling oh my gal

Can't get a thing in this life for free

Only thing I'm good for now

Is blowing kisses at the wishing tree
