Wishing Well

(album: Pinker And Prouder Than Previous - 1988)

I should've left you where I found you
Down by the wishing well
Flipped a coin into the water
It felt like Christmas Day
Oh, I was green and eager
Down by the wishing well
Looking back it was a wonder
How great was my desire

Then was heard a crack of thunder
Down by the wishing well
And appeared one young and tasty
That made my heart go bump
The moon was high and golden
Down by the wishing well
And a perfume like a promise
Stole my reason

I could've had that gull wing racer
Or some other rich man's toy
But a man of indecision
Sure got to pay now

I could've had that 8 string beauty
Or some other rich man's toy
But a man of indecision sure got to pay
