[00:00.88]The Wish - Robin Jackson
[00:16.28]I put another quarter in the wishing well
[00:20.72]I prayed to the dark and down it fell
[00:25.00]Down in the watery deep
[00:28.84]Are promises that no one can keep
[00:32.35]Well I've spent so many diamonds
[00:34.62]That my crowns almost bare
[00:36.79]And the patches on my heart
[00:38.69]Are sewn on with care
[00:40.63]Every time that I hit the floor
[00:44.97]I keep coming back for more
[00:49.04]So buy me a ticket on this one way train
[00:52.83]'Cause the only way to love
[00:54.78]Is again and again
[00:56.74]And I'm riding the rails through
[00:58.81]This hurricane
[01:00.79]Let it rain
[01:02.31]Oh let it rain
[01:04.84]Take a whisper from my lips
[01:06.84]So breath from my chest
[01:08.86]Steal a beat from my heart
[01:10.90]Put my soul to the test
[01:12.89]Lay my guns in the ground
[01:14.69]And my lies to the west
[01:16.98]Let it rest
[01:18.41]Oh let it rest
[01:21.07]I once stole sunshine from a desert dream
[01:25.32]I once went fishing in a dried up stream
[01:29.32]I held mountains in my hands
[01:32.87]I wasn't careful and they turned to sand
[01:37.53]I want to smell sweet magnolia flower
[01:41.41]That smelled as soft as the midnight hour
[01:45.48]She stole diamonds from my dreams
[01:49.54]And wore them like a zingara queen
[02:09.33]And may our scars be
[02:11.37]As pretty
[02:13.22]As a pink ole' texas sky
[02:17.33]And soft and tender like the
[02:19.97]Whisper of a jackalope's sigh
[02:25.38]And when we light new candles
[02:29.52]And our old ghosts haunt us on
[02:33.48]May the flames burn them
[02:35.61]Away with the dawn
[02:41.89]I met aphrodite on a summer's day
[02:45.81]Through the w**ds and the brambles
[02:48.04]She showed me the way
[02:49.63]Left a glass crystal in my soul
[02:54.08]That echoed like a singing bowl
[02:57.82]I rode to the edge of a canyon deep
[03:01.92]Where the wind was so strong
[03:03.73]It knocked me off of my feet
[03:06.00]Like a banshee out in the storm
[03:09.68]All I knew again I'd been reborn
[03:14.11]So buy me a ticket on this one way train
[03:18.02]'Cause the only way to love
[03:20.07]Is again and again
[03:21.99]And I'm riding the rails through
[03:24.11]This hurricane
[03:25.83]Let it rain
[03:27.42]Oh let it rain
[03:30.10]Take a whisper from my lips
[03:32.02]A breath from my chest
[03:34.03]Steal a beat from my heart
[03:36.16]Put my soul to the test
[03:38.18]Lay my guns in the ground
[03:39.95]And my lies to the west
[03:42.00]Let it rest
[03:43.56]Oh let it rest
[03:45.69]Oh let it rest
