The Wishing 歌詞

i should have married nancy it's five years to the day she said: you face and choose me instead i turned and walked away i did not understand what happened to those plans could have happened to them all the wishing's not enough to make a dream come true i'm going somewhere don't know where but the wishing's not enough wishing's not enough, wishing's not enough and it never was i could have been a sailor, the ocean set me free wear my trousers inside out and golden earrings in both ears i'd drift the wide pacific the harbours and the bars making friends of sickness with the dockside whores and stevedores a tattoo on my shirt, the kind that doesn't hurt: Johnny could have had it all the wishing's not enough to make a dream come true i'm going somewhere don't know where but the wishing's not enough wishing's not enough, wishing's not enough and it never was now i'm a stranger to the razor a stranger to myself and when i look in the mirror i see someone sitting on a shelf
