I'm Wishin

People in the next room
Don't know they make me blue
They're making money and making love
And then when they are all through
They make a lot of small talk
And play some music loud
And all the time I'm wishing
I was part of the crowd

I see them from my window
Walkin' hand in hand
He winks and sighs as she walks by
And they both understand
Come rain or shine they're making time
Taking love right in their stride
And all the time I'm wishing
I was on the other side

When I go downstairs
I make silent prayers
The phone that is ringing is mine
But when I run up
It stops and I hear someone say
I'll be ready on time

Everywhere I see a pair
Of lovers two by two
Sipping wine and looking fine
Skies are always blue
I telephone a cat I know
Invite him for a drink
He says he made some future plans
And I'm left alone to think

I think about the times I've had
And try not to recall
The ones that were so very bad
And the ones that were a ball
'Cause what's the point in bringing up
A broken picture frame
When all it does it put you in the old rejection game?

It's getting dark and moonshine is a long, long time past due
I'm in my car, I'm traveling far
Far away from you
'Cause you, you're the worst
You put me in this faithful misery
You're the one that's got me
With this fruitless wishing tree

And all the time I'm wishing
All the time I'm wishing
All the time I'm wishing, baby
Wishing you were here
Wishing you were here
All the time I'm wishing, wishing
That you were here with me
