Wishing The Days Away Lyrics

Wishing The Days Away lyrics

On Monday I wished that it was Tuesday night

So I could wish for a weekend to come

On Tuesday I wished that the night would pass

So I could call you on the phone

Now a man can spend a lot of time

Wondering what was on Jack Ruby's mind

And time is all I have without you here



On Wednesday when you hung up

It was as much as I could do

To stop from wishing Thursday

Would pass so quickly too

They're out there making history

In the Lenin Shipyards today

And here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel

Wishing the days away



There's always room for one more soul

Down in the Human Zoo

I don't want you to come here though

I want to come home to you

Somebody's knocking at the door,

It's later than I think

And it's time to put on these stinking clothes

And get out there and stink



On Friday I wished that there was something more

To be seen in the letters you send

On Saturday I wished it was Sunday

Oh will this torment ever end

Sometimes I take a notion to put a torch

To the tools of my trade

Here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel

Wishing the days away
