Wishes

I wish I could make it better for you
I wish I could clear your mind
I wish I could find the words for you
I wish I could be so kind

Oh if wishes were horses
Then beggars would ride
And there wouldn’t be enough
Fields to graze.

All I can do is to walk from you
And, start all over again.

So I carry my heart in my pack flung about
Knowing I can’t bruise it worse
I look for a pile to bury myself
For I have too many wounds to nurse.

I wish you weren’t there
I wish I'm not sad
I wish life had semblance of fair.

Oh if wishes were horses
Then beggars would ride
And there wouldn’t be enough
Fields to graze.

So all I can do is to walk from you
And, start all over again.
