Bob Mould Wishing Well Lyrics

Wishing Well Lyrics

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
