Wishing Well

Threw my last coin in a wishing well
Then went off searching for some change
For a cup of coffee or just someone to tell
Ain’t nothing new; ain’t that strange?

I rode home on a Greyhound bus
Wondering if these wishes will come true
You said hope is something you should never trust
But I bet you tossed a coin in too
Didn’t you?
How ‘bout you?

I woke up in the pouring rain
And pulled my hat down on my head
I went off searching for something to blame
Found a wishing well instead.

I called you up just to ask how you’ve been
You said you wondered the same thing too.
I kind of hoped you might come round here again
‘cause I sure could use some time with you.
Yes, it’s true.
How ‘bout you?

La la la

Where they went I can never tell
All the years, months and days
I hope you know that I always wish you well
“It’s all good.” So they say.

I think tomorrow I might get something done
If I can only think of what to do.
A million coins tossed in just for fun
Does it ever feel the same to you?
Tell me true.
How ‘bout you?

La la la
