Meet Me At The Wishing Well

(album: Captain Sad And His Ship Of Fools - 1968)

Do doo doo doo do, do doo doo do
Da doo doo doo do, do doo doo do

Now you might laugh and say I'm just the foolish kind
I guess I'm not as practical as you
Laugh all you want and be assured that I won't mind
It takes a foolish mind to do the things I do

All day long I sit around a wishing well
Through tears I see a blurry red-stained hue
And who knows someday soon no one can ever tell
The scarlet sky might once again be blue

I'm tossing all my pennies very carefully
And caringly I wish the world to stay
Any price I'll pay; I'm waiting patiently
I sense that love will someday have its way
So I'll stay...

Sitting round the wishing well and I wish you well
Will tomorrow be a yesterday?
Maybe if we all sat around a wishing well
The world wouldn't have to go away
Away...

Ah...
I'm tossing all my pennies very carefully
Hopefully I'll see a brighter day
And maybe if we all sat around the wishing well
The world wouldn't have to go away
Go away...
