Wishing

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 skyI 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 dodgingA riderless horse to the left, to the right

Straight to the eye, yet changing direction

There within reach and then out of sightI'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
