I wish you all
the decency due.
I wish you all
the good times.
memories of you,
burning cigarettes and booze
got me through,
you got me through.
I wish you all
your heart might desire,
I wish you all
of my love.
for there's never been a time
when you didn't hold me up;
feelin' low and down and out...
I wish you could see
deep inside of me
the ember trails
of your name
seared deep into my heart...
oh I wish for you joy!
oh I wish for you contentment!
oh I wish for you
all that i can not give...
nothing have i to give.
I wish you kindness,
flower petals for your path.
I wish you love,
most of all,
I wish you love.
how I wish for your sunlight,
how I wish for your gaze.
all I want is to come home,
but tonight is just another foggy haze.
