Wish You Well Lyrics - Mark Lanegan

He wrote a name 

With the needle gun 

In black and blue 

Your eyes are stone she said 

Beautiful and dead 

And I wish you well 

I took a turn on this carousel 

How long ago now, I never can tell 

I never stopped to wonder 

Maybe a morning, maybe, a thousand years 

I only walk high wires 

Attend a needing 

The magnolia's dying 

Long coarse and primitive 

I wish love, lord 

I wish love could live, forever 

What I once saw burning bright as hell, now here comes that weird chill 

I don't stop to wonder 

Threaded a name

Through the needle's eye 

As a frame 

Tied the ends and stitched it up 

And hung my head down and wept 

But I wish you well 

Who'll pray for the killer's sake 

I used to be so wide awake 

Like certain mornings 

That last a thousand hours 

Long coarse and primitive 

I wish love, lord 

I wish love could live forever 

I'm burning bright at hell, here comes that weird chill 

But I wish you well 

Your eyes are stone she said, truly beautiful and dead 

I wish you well 

I want to ride on this carousel 

But, I never really stopped to wonder
