Robin Jackson - The Wish lyrics

I put another quarter in the wishing well I prayed to the dark, and down it fell Down in the watery deep Are promises no one can keep Well I've spent so many diamonds My crowns almost bare And the patches on my heart Are sewn on with care And every time that I hit the floor I keep coming back for more So buy me a ticket on this one way train Cause the only way to love Is again and again And I'm riding the rails through This hurricane Let it rain, oh let it rain Take a whisper from my lips A breath from my chest Steal a beat from my heart Put my soul to the test I lay my guns in the ground And my lies to the west Let it rest, oh let it rest I once stole sunshine from a desert dream I once went fishing in a dried up stream I held mountains in my hand I wasn't careful and they turned to sand I came across a sweet magnolia flower That smelled as soft as the midnight hour She stole diamonds from my dreams And wore them like a Zingara queen And may our scars be As pretty as a pink ole' Texas sky And soft and tender like the Whisper of a jackalope's sigh And when we light new candles And our old ghosts haunt us on May the flames burn them Away with the dawn I met Aphrodite on a summer's day Through weeds and the brambles She showed me the way And left a gla** crystal in my soul That echoed like a singing bowl I rode to edge of a canyon deep Where the wind was so strong It knocked it me off of my feet Like a banshee out in the storm I knew again I'd been reborn
