Wishing Lyrics - To The Limit - Joan Armatrading

I saw a star 

Falling 

Like an old 

Hollywood actress 

A neon sign 

With just one letter showing 

A burned out light 

At my feet 

I took a wish 

I wished on that jewel 

From the sky

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

I wished on the moon 

Haunting the trees 

A target too big for the sky 

I wanted it so bad 

I was wishing on a prayer 

But it kept right on dodging 

A riderless horse 

To the left, to the right 

Straight to the eye 

Yet changing direction 

There within reach 

And then out of sight 

I'd waited too long 

Watched for that pot to boil 

Waited too long for the whistle 

I wanted it so bad 

I was wishing on a prayer 

Photos 

But it kept right on dodging 

A riderless horse 

To the left, to the right 

Straight to the eye 

Yet changing direction 

There within reach 

And then out of sight
