On Monday I wished it was Tuesday night
|
So I could wish for the weekend to come
|
On Tuesday I wished that the night would pass
|
So I could call you on the phone
|
Now a man can spend a lot of time
|
Wondering what was on Jack Ruby's mind
|
And time is all I have without you here
|
|
On Wednesday when you hung up
|
It was as much as I could do
|
To stop from wishing Thursday
|
Would pass so quickly too
|
They're out there making history
|
In the Lenin Shipyards today
|
And here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
|
Wishing the days away
|
|
There's always room for one more soul
|
Down in the Human Zoo
|
I don't want you to come here though
|
I want to come home to you
|
Somebody's knocking at the door
|
Its later than I think
|
And its time to put on these stinking clothes
|
And get out there and stink
|
|
On Friday I wished there was something more
|
To be seen in the letters you send
|
On Saturday I wished it was Sunday
|
Oh will this torment ever end
|
Sometimes I get a notion to put a torch
|
To the tools of my trade
|
Here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
|
Wishing the days away
|
