He wrote her 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
|
Though I´m 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 her 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
|
Though I´m 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
|

Wish You Well
