Well, it's been a long, long while Almost a year now to the day Since I was sent on my way I got a place to stay Down in that old suburban high-rise Where the first timer buys Every day is overcast And the trains are always late My head is somewhere in the past So I hang around and wait for time to pass It's probably my mistake And certainly no one else? s heartache I'm just another one to break But a boy can get so confused When there is nothing left to lose I guess it's just my luck That every lie I've tried to buy Was never up for sale These sour times weigh heavy And have already tipped the scale My oh my and hallelujah Cross my heart and hope to die I can swear my luck is changing It's a welcome stranger here ? Cause I'm running out of change For my wishing well So wish me well, wish me well Wish me well Wish me well Wish me well
