Wish For

And all across the world

All across the seas

All across the world

You and me

And all across the world

All across the seas

All across the world

You and me

Bali morning at the corner house

A frangipani falls at my feet

Such a sweet place to rest

I’m thinking of you across the seas

From Amsterdam to the Cypress Hills

Youve taken me with you

There’s a coaster on my wall

A little piece from you from Bruges

And I want to bring you here

With time to drift and kiss you sweet

I’m thinking of you now

A smile on your lips across the seas

And your home away from home

Lifts you up as you touch down again

And on the streets that you roam

There’s memories sweet as you breathe them in

And this city that you’ve know

Welcomes you back just like an old friend

And across an azure sky

We begin

And the long white beaches roll from the city to the sea

From the shade of the swaying palms across the oceans you reaching to me

And I can hear your spirit high

From the cafes and the streets

And across an azure sky

You and me

From the shady sands of Seminyak

I’m waiting for your day to start

As the shadows track back to back

And the dust is dancing like golden sparks

From tour buses on crazy streets

You’ve let me see what you see

Through places dark and filled with grief

You’ve trusted you can share with me

You’re a diamond in the northern lights

As you make your way from bed to bed

I wish you days clear and bright

Every time you lay your head

And your home away from home

lifts you up as you touch down again

And on the streets that you roam there’s memories sweet as you breathe them in

And this city that you’ve know

It welcomes you back just like an old friend

And across an azure sky

We begin

And the long white beaches roll

From the city to the sea

From the shade of the swaying palms across the oceans you reaching to me

And I can hear your spirit high

From the cafes and the streets

And across an azure sky

You and me

And all across the world

And all across the seas

All across the world

You and me

And all across the world

And all across the seas

All across the world

You and me

I’m inside,

Looking out the window,

At the spring rain,

Dancing off the roof,

Everything’s quiet,

Everything’s O.K.

And then Something,

Something to wish for,

Like a rainbow,

Something to wish for,

Like the sun,

Like the woman,

Like it’s just begun,

How we used to drink our echoes,

Spinach salad at The Moon,

And I tell you that I love you,

And we walk into the other room,

That’s all that I wish for,

That’s all that I want,

Caught between the wishing for,

And the what I’ve got,

Maybe I could cut my hair,

Pack my things and head somewhere,

Leave my keys with a friend next door,

Leave a message hanging off my door,

Gone to find my woman,

Be with her again,

I don’t know where I’ll find her,

But I hear her call my name,

And then it’ll be alright,

We’ll be running in the middle of the night,

We’ll be howling to the devils in the rain,

I’ll be kissing your lips again,

And we’ll both be dancing,

Words will fall away,

Just a look between us,

Just a glance some day,

That’s all I wish for like a rainbow,

That’s all I wish for like the sun,

Like the woman,

Like it’s just begun

It took me a time to find my cause,

Maybe too late you must have felt at times,

I was on my way before,

To tell you the truth,

It was all I ever wanted,

I don’t want,

Don’t want to hurt no one,

No I don’t want,

Don’t want to hurt no one at all,

But in my dreams,

I’ve seen the one,

And I cant pretend anymore,

When we dance,

We’ll dance together,

And in my heart I’ll know that it’s true,

And in my eyes you burn like fire,

You’re blinding me to all but you,

Without you I was no ones man,

I belonged to no one,

No fight or no land,

In my dreams you pursued me,

Even when I refused to see,

But I don’t want,

Don’t want to hurt no one,

No I don’t want,

Don’t want to hurt no one at all,

But in my dreams I’ve seen the one,

And I can’t pretend anymore,

When we dance

We’ll dance together

And in my heart I’ll know that it’s true

And in my eyes you burn like fire,

You’re blinding me to all but you,

I woke,

I worked for pay,

Spoke the obvious without passion,

But I wouldn’t say,

The emptiness that I was feeling,

I buried my loss and prayed,

It would be quick and sudden,

But in that moment you were still burning in my eyes,

But I don’t want,

Don’t want to hurt no one,

No I don’t want,

Don’t want to hurt no one at all,

But in my dreams I’ve seen the one,

And I can’t pretend anymore,

When we dance,

We’ll dance together,

And in my heart I’ll know that it’s true,

And in my eyes you burn like fire,

You’re blinding me to all but you.

Only with the things we know,

Can we make our lives a little brighter,

Only with our family and friends,

Can our lives shine like the sun,

I find no use praying to the sunrise,

Making offerings to the moon,

The Gods that make my life worth living,

Are often just sitting back at home,

I sat behind a man on a train,

And he softly told me again and again,

That the time was eleven fifty three P.M.

On the twenty sixth of July nineteen ninty seven,

His voice was gentle,

Like a babies high and slurred,

I played some guitar for him but I don’t think he heard,

But one woman did relate at the Newtown Station,

She sat down to ease her guts and gave me an explanation,

Her two friends had killed themselves,

One shot and one stabbed,

She asked me to sing for them,

But got dragged off by her man,

So I’m not praying to the sunrise,

I’m having tea with Paul,

And I’m not wishing ona moon beam,

I’m having sticky date pud with Clare,

And when I’m in bed with fever,

And the pains bashing my head,

I’m not kneeling to imaginary stars,

I’m calling Natalie instead,

So with God,

As my witness,

In the eyes of my friends,

We put our faith into each other,

And in return we’re strengthened,

And all my family have been my Gurus,

I’ve got their photos on my wall,

And all the learning and hurt we’ve suffered,

Has been together,

And til the end we’ll share

So I’m not praying to the sunrise,

I’m having tea with Paul,

And I’m not wishing ona moon beam,

I’m having sticky date pud with Clare,

And when I’m in bed with fever,

And the pains bashing my head,

I’m not kneeling to imaginary stars,

I’m calling Natalie instead,

On This track I carry shoes for two

It’s my life in a back pack but there’s room for you

It’s a ride I’m always on the roam

My homes is a trailer but I don’t wanna sleep alone

I want a crowded life

I wanna push and pull against your weight

I wanna feel a part of a heart

wrap my arms around your waist

I wanna hold you tight

I don’t wanna be on my own

I wanna dream and wake up together

And have a plan before we hit the road

If You can wait for me

I’m just coming in to view

You’re getting closer now

And I know what we should do

Cause there’s too much space

Too much in between

I need to feel the touch of your skin

I wanna breathe you in

I want a crowded life

I wanna push and pull against your weight

I wanna feel a part of a heart

wrap my arms around your waist

I wanna hold you tight

I don’t wanna be on my own

I wanna dream and wake up together

And have a plan before we hit the road

Cause if you wanna run, run

And if you wanna hide, hide

But which way or whatever

Let’s get this right

And if wanna fight, fight

but if you want to stay, we’ll stay together

but which way or whatever

Let’s start tonight

And I can’t wait

I’ve been waiting far too long

Don’t you wanna be in a place

Where we know what is going on

and I’m in too deep

For me there’s no more backing out

I wanna ride together in this crazy life

I wanna hollo scream and shout

I want a crowded life

I wanna push and pull against your weight

I wanna feel a part of a heart

wrap my arms around your waist

I wanna hold you tight

I don’t wanna be on my own

I wanna dream and wake up together

i wanna call your heart home

Cause if you wanna run, run

And if you wanna hide, hide

But which way or whatever

Let’s get this right

And if wanna fight, fight

but if you want to stay, we’ll stay together

but which way or whatever

Let’s start tonight

Let’s start tonight

The wind is hot,

And I’m free,

I’m flying high,

Where you can’t see,

I’m on a trip,

I’m out of sight,

But don’t be sad,

Don’t you cry,

Cause I’m ready to go,

I’m ready to go,

It was my mistake to give you hope,

But I can’t escape,

It won’t let go,

I wanna bust,

I wanna taste,

If that’s the price,

If it’s what it takes,

I’m ready to go,

I’m ready to go,

Oh my restless heart,

It’s beating fast at your door,

Don’t you let it in,

God help you ,

Cause I’m just a slave to it all,

I wear my suits from Saville Row,

I touch your hand like I touch a rose,

I’ll give my heart and my soul,

I lay it bear,

Come take me whole,

I’ll give your heart a song to sing,

You’ll me my all,

My everything,

I’ll raise you up,

I’m on my knees,

You’ll be my light,

My constancy,

Then a cold wind will blow,

A cold wind will blow,

Oh my restless heart,

It’s beating fast at your door,

Don’t you let it in,

God help you ,

Cause I’m just a slave to it all,

I’ve got my seed,

It’s here somewhere,

Do you believe,

Well I don’t care,

I’ll spill my words upon your field,

I’ll harvest you,

And take my fill,

And then I will go,

Then I will go,

Oh my restless heart,

It’s beating fast at your door,

And I won’t let you go,

God help me,

Til you’re just a slave to it all,

Til you’re just a slave to it all,

Til you’re just a slave to it all,

I’ve never needed anything like this,

It’s a mountain I must climb,

And it seems so long and the sun won’t set,

It’s just one long day outside,

But the life just keeps unfolding,

Throwing things my way,

And I keep looking for the light,

Through the shades of grey,

How long can this day be?

I want to rest my head and wake up soon,

How long can this day be?

I want to rest my head and wake up soon,

I ask myself which way I should go,

The answers there I find,

And the map to show the way is clear,

It’s been there all the time

Feels like I’m in slow motion,

Watching people pass me by,

And I let them in before me,

As im standing here line

How long can this day be?

I want to rest my head and wake up soon,

How long can this day be?

I want to rest my head and wake up soon,

Don’t wait for me,

I feel bad if you’ve been waiting

So patiently,

for me

I’ve got no excuses,

I don’t understand myself,

It’s not the way I thought it would be,

here but still,

If I get to cross this bridge,

I know the sun will shine,

And in all the places I’m going to go,

There’ll be love day and night,

And my journey is my family,

My friends and my guitar,

And our destinations will guided by the stars

How long can this day be?

I want to rest my head and wake up soon,

How long can this day be?

I want to rest my head and wake up soon,
