Wishing Well Lyrics - Workbook - Bob Mould

Wishing well, runs wet and dry 

I wish for things, I never had 

Surrounds and wells up in my eyes 

The screaming voice, it lies 

Wishing well, gets someone's attention 

Every wish you ever had 

In a day of nights, in the darkest of light 

Sits and cries, watch the lies 

Could you give me a wish 

If I tell you what I want? 

Will the price be no object? 

Oh, I wish for dreams of light 

I live for wishing well surprise 

Deepest light on the secret lies 

Wishing well gives you all that you desire 

Homes and trains 

And the greenest of plains 

That you ever happened upon 

The silent wish, it calls you out 

Calls you out by name 

Lays upon the plain, on the mountain high 

City lights, wish delights 

Suppose the waters and wishes appear? 

Will the price be no object? 

I, I wish for dreams of light 

I live for wishing well surprise 

Oh, wishing well 

Oh, wishing well 

Oh, wishing well 

Oh, wishing well 

Twist and shape on the winding twine 

Around the spindle winds 

Wish again, four times again 

Four wishes deep into the well 

There's a price to pay for a wish to come true 

Trade a small piece of your life 

Roots in the soil, uprooting the soil 

Mountain high, the mountain high 

The wish is only to speak a kind 

Kind of word, so benign absurd 

The well, three wishes run dry 

Wishing well is dry 

When no grass grows 

The weeds run in line 

Wish three wishes 

Three wishes run dry
