Somebody Else's Wishes

from The Senary by Paulie Cohen

/

lyrics

I wonder how we ended up right here?
With this darkness all around.
Chasing after this old memory,
Deeply lost and still unfound.

Water falling off our faces,
I'm chilled right to the bone.
You say that light ahead’s our way out,
But a way no longer home.

Our way home, unkown.

We have found the riches all around us,
In that old moss garden well.
But don’t you stop to fill your pockets.
You can’t take from a wishing well. So I yell:

Wait. Wait. Wait Wait. Wait stop.

Because these are somebody else's wishes,
They are somebody else's dreams.
Though we thought we'd found our riches,
Things aren't always what they seem.

Whoa (x8ish)

Because these are somebody else's wishes,
They are somebody else's dreams.
Though we thought we'd found our riches,
Things aren't always what they seem.
Because these are somebody else's wishes,
They are somebody else's dreams.
These are somebody else's wishes,
A little hope is all we need.

You say your dream was left unanswered.
Well, mine is standing right in front of me.
You talk, but I hear no words,
Your mouth is all I see.
Your mouth is all I see.
