Wish You Well (2024 Remaster)

He wrote her name with a needle gun

In black and blue

"Your eyes are stone," she said

"Beautiful and dead

And I wish you well"

I took a turn on this carousel

How long ago now, I never can tell

I never stopped to wonder

Maybe a morning, maybe a thousand years

I only walk high wires

To tend an Eden of magnolias dying

And though I'm coarse and primitive

I wish love, Lord, I wish love could live forever

What I once saw burning bright as hell

Now here comes that weird chill

I don't stop to wonder

I thrеaded her name through thе needle's eye as it frayed

Tied the ends and stitched it up

Then hung my head down and wept

But I wish you well

Who'll pray for the killer's sake?

I used to be so wide awake

Mm, like certain mornings

That last a thousand hours

Though I'm coarse and primitive

I wish love, Lord, I wish love could live forever

I'm burning bright at hell

Here comes that weird chill

But I wish you well

"Your eyes are stone," she said

"Truly beautiful and dead

I wish you well"

I only ride on this carousel

But, I never really stop to wonder
