Wishing Well

Written with Rick Danko

Standing by the well
Wondering where you are. I wish that I could tell.
Coin is in the water. Hope my wish comes true.
Waiting by the Wishing Well for you
Was it just last night?
You and I stood right here and held each other tight.
We threw a coin in the water and swore that we’d be true.
And here I am waiting by the Wishing Well for you.
But somehow it’s all worth it
Even if you’re late
Though it’s 9 o’clock and I swear I thought we made the date for 8.
But I’ll keep waiting
Making plans like I always make.
It seems like anyway if I didn’t stay I’d be making a big mistake.
Mumblin’, “What the hell.”
I’d sooner than not and it’s a pretty nice spot for a Wishing Well.
Ripples on the water. There’s our future shining through.
Waiting by the Wishing Well for you.
Wait a minute.
I hope that you’re alright
Because just now I heard an ambulance howl and it cut like a knife through the night.
Funny how my mind can be that way.
Just a minute ago I was angry, oh, but now I just hope you’re OK.
Well, I guess it’s up to me
I know I should go but I’ve got nowhere else I’d rather be.
Reflections on the water. It’s blue reflecting blue.
Waiting by the Wishing Well for you.
