Wishing Lyrics

The song Wishing is performed by Joan Armatrading in the album named To the Limit in the year 1990 .



I saw a star falling, like an old Hollywood actress
A neon sign with just one letter showing
A burned out light at my feet
I took a wish, I wished on that jewel from the sky

I wished on the moon, haunting the trees
A target too big for the sky
I wanted it so bad, I was wishing on a prayer
But it kept right on dodging

A riderless horse to the left, to the right
Straight to the eye, yet changing direction
There within reach and then out of sight

I'd waited too long, watched for that pot to boil
Waited too long for the whistle
I wanted it so bad, I was wishing on a prayer
But it kept right on dodging

A riderless horse to the left, to the right
Straight to the eye, yet changing direction
There within reach and then out of sight
