The Wishing Tree

I took a walk down by the river
On down towards our secret rendez-vous
I made my way down to the wishing tree
And left a message there that you would see

Then I wrote a song I hoped that you would hear
And you would know just where you had to go
Down past rocks on which we used to sit
And talk about how life could be so cruel

Why carry on
When everything we're living for
Is slowly fading?
Time passes by
And everything we ever loved
Is lost and wasted

All you wanted was worth
And all I ever showed you was love
All we needed was time
And everything was gonna be fine

Now I need to find a way
To let you know

"Someday", you told me "we will sail away"
I think about it every night and day
So I keep you close to me in any way
And I'll still be waiting when we're old and grey

Why carry on
When everything we're living for
Is slowly fading?
Time passes by
And everything we ever loved
Is lost and wasted

Tell me why can't we try
When all I need is just a piece of your love
Now if it wasn't for pain
I fear that I'd feel nothing at all

Now I need to find a way
To turn back time
