Wish Man

Down by the bayou

Down by the bayou, I saw

Good things inside you

Good things inside you they call

Into my memories of old

And tell me what you know

Well, I saw a man there

I saw a man and sat down

I shook his hand there

I shook his hand , he laughed loud

And put a question to my heart

A question oh so sharp

Well he said, hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Angels speak of a thing called bliss

Close your eyes, all we've got, got is this, yeah

So what to say, love

What to say when that turned

I was overwhelmed

I stood and let my house burn

As I saw horses in the sky

Let me take that ride, yeah

Well, I walked on there

Well, I walked on with thoughts deep

I never knew that love could dig way down and bury me

I turn and face, I do not run

Another chapter has begun, forever one, yeah

'Cause he said, hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Angels speak of a thing called bliss

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Angels speak of a thing called bliss

Close your eyes, all we've got, got is this

If I'm straying far away I get down and start to pray

'Cause I know, I know

That my song will reach those heavens

I stand up, I'm not forgetting

I know, I know, yeah

'Cause he said, hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Angels speak of a thing called bliss

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Angels speak of a thing called bliss

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish

Close your eyes, all we've got is this

Angels speak of a thing called bliss

Close your eyes, all we've got, got is this
