Wishing Well Blues
If only you'd been wearing that sign on your heart, Well, I never would have tried to come in. I've heard that true love can make you survive When a pushin comes to a shove. But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide As to try and go and win your love. * So throw me a penny in the wishing well Keep knocking my fist from the wood. Sometimes I got to laugh at this funny old world, When crying seems to do me no good. There were nights when I wander on the streets alone, I see your face in the stars above. But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide, As to try and go and win your love. There's a sign on the hotel doorway That says no vacancy. If only I'd known you felt that way, I could have smiled and walked on by. I've heard that true love can lift you off your feet, As if you had the wings of a dove. But I may as well have tried to hold back the tide As to try and go and win your love. ( * )
