Wanting, Wishing, Hoping

Wanting, Wishing, Hoping
Ted Wulfers

Well the light keeps blinkin' while I'm here
Thinkin' and drinkin,' thinkin' about you you
And the sun keeps creepin' while I'm here
Weepin' in my bed sleepin' feelin' so blue
Waitin' for the world to spin my way
So I can have my cake of the day
And I can soak in all the sun's rays
And I can know that I can say that I'm

Wanting, wishing, hoping you love me
Wanting, wishing, hoping you love me

Well the wine keeps flowin'
And I'm still knowin' but I must be goin' on a journey
And the dreams I achieve and the knowledge I conceive
And the flack I receive don't you worry
I shall philosophize my comes and goes
Where the river leads nobody knows
I will try to forgive all my foes
Try to get out, out of this hose but I'm

Chorus

Now April shower bring May flowers
And pass all the hours of the car ride
As we talk on the phone both feelin' so alone
As the history has shown we take great strides
But I don't know what the future will bring
Who knows what song we will sing
Will there still be anything
Coming out of the eternal spring while I'm

Chorus

Now the joint keeps smokin' while the crowd is jokin'
And the man is pokin' Jekyl is still high
As the priest keeps prayin and the man is sayin'
And society's paying who's on our side
But whatever's out there, half of it's fate
The rest is time so don't be late
Please love and do not hate
Because through love we all can relate

And we still build our moats to avoid the scapegoats
That will come and cut our throats what a scandal
As we remain dust to dust but through all of our lust
Comes the old upper crust too hard to handle
Waiting for the river to rise and take all
As we build a safety net so we don't fall
But we bowed out at our curtain call
Because we might have not been on the ball but I'm still

Chorus
