| [00:16.58] | I put another quarter in the wishing well |
| [00:20.83] | I prayed to the dark, and down it fell |
| [00:24.46] | Down in the watery deep |
| [00:28.64] | Are promises that no one can keep |
| [00:32.22] | Well I’ve spent so many diamonds |
| [00:34.60] | that my crowns almost bare |
| [00:36.69] | And the patches on my heart |
| [00:38.71] | are sewn on with care |
| [00:40.55] | And every time that I hit the floor |
| [00:44.56] | I keep coming back for more |
| [00:48.85] | So buy me a ticket on this one way train |
| [00:52.56] | Cause the only way to love |
| [00:54.71] | is again and again |
| [00:56.79] | And I’m riding the rails through this hurricane |
| [01:00.58] | Let it rain, oh let it rain |
| [01:04.94] | Take a whisper from my lips |
| [01:06.85] | Sold a breath from my chest |
| [01:08.85] | Steal a beat from my heart |
| [01:10.83] | Put my soul to the test |
| [01:12.78] | Lay my guns in the ground |
| [01:14.67] | and my lies to the west |
| [01:16.88] | Let it rest, oh let it rest |
| [01:21.29] | I once stole sunshine from a desert dream |
| [01:24.98] | I once went fishing in a dried up stream |
| [01:29.12] | I held mountains in my hand |
| [01:32.90] | I wasn’t careful and they turned to sand |
| [01:36.77] | I once met a sweet magnolia flower |
| [01:41.23] | that smelled as soft as the midnight hour |
| [01:45.18] | She stole diamonds from my dreams |
| [01:49.28] | and wore them like a Zingara queen |
| [01:53.37] | And may our scars be as pretty as a pink ole’ Texas sky |
| [02:17.25] | And soft and tender like the whisper of a jackalope’s sigh |
| [02:25.19] | And when we light new candles |
| [02:29.67] | and our old ghosts haunt us on |
| [02:33.63] | May the flames burn them |
| [02:35.74] | away with the dawn |
| [02:41.65] | I met Aphrodite on a summer’s day |
| [02:45.69] | through weeds and the brambles |
| [02:47.76] | She showed me the way |
| [02:49.60] | And left a glass crystal in my soul |
| [02:53.80] | that echoed like a singing bowl |
| [02:57.75] | I rode to edge of a canyon deep |
| [03:01.94] | where the wind was so strong |
| [03:03.74] | It knocked me off of my feet |
| [03:05.78] | Like a banshee out in the storm |
| [03:09.70] | What I knew again I’d been reborn |
| [03:14.17] | So buy me a ticket on this one way train |
| [03:17.92] | Cause the only way to love |
| [03:21.66] | is again and again |
| [03:22.39] | And I’m riding the rails through this hurricane |
| [03:26.22] | Let it rain, oh let it rain |
| [03:30.15] | Take a whisper from my lips |
| [03:32.13] | Sold a breath from my chest |
| [03:34.05] | Steal a beat from my heart |
| [03:36.12] | Put my soul to the test |
| [03:38.13] | Lay my guns in the ground |
| [03:40.10] | and my lies to the west |
| [03:42.47] | Let it rest, oh let it rest |
| [03:45.87] | Oh let it rest |
| [03:50.47] |
| [00:16.58] | I put another quarter in the wishing well |
