I spend every night on my knees In the shadow of a wishing tree Branches swaying in the evening sun I sit and think about the things I've done Oh my darling oh my gal Only thing I'm good for now Oh my darling oh my gal Only thing I'm good for now Is blowing kisses at the wishing tree Crossed my heart beside the wishing brook Trying to salvage what the bad years took But in the ripples and the dark below Only answer was an undertow Oh my darling oh my gal Only thing I'm good for now Oh my darling oh my gal Only thing I'm good for now Is blowing kisses at the wishing tree Threw my money in the wishing pool Just like every other desperate fool Trying to tempt the gods and change my fate Just a little too little too late Oh my darling oh my gal Only thing I'm good for Oh my darling oh my gal Only thing I'm good for now Oh my darling oh my gal Only thing I'm good for now Is blowing kisses at the wishing tree
