Wishbone

Say what you will You can’t break a wish from a bone Think what you like You can’t make these rooms a home Hearts get tangled Like sheets on a bed Leave the past behind For the one that lays ahead Wish on every star You can’t squeeze the blood from a stone Hope for the best You have to make it on your own Heads get tangled Like a necklace in a box Tireless obsessions Like the hound chasing the fox Say what you will You can’t trust a heart that is smitten Try as you might You can’t trust the hand that’s been bitten Lives get tangles The crossing of the stars The simple truth is this Some love is better from afar This too shall pass This too shall pass
