| I Wish |
| I WISH I WAS RUNNING FREE IN THE FIELDS LIKE A CHILD WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD NEVER OUT OF BREATH, NO ACHES AND PAINS JUST LAUGHING THROUGH THE SUMMER RAIN I WISH I WAS THE PILOT OF A HUGE JET PLANE FLYING TO SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY CRUISING AT 30,000 FT ABOVE THE CLOUDS AND INTO THE SUNRISE OF ANOTHER DAY I WISH I WAS FLOATING ON A DEEP BLUE SEA THE WARM WAVES LAPPING OVER ME OR ON A CANAL IN THE SHADE OF SUMMER TREES BLOWING ME GENTLY ON THE BREEZE I WISH I WAS WALKING THE ENDLESS ROAD I'LL PITCH MY TENT EVERY NIGHT AND CALL IT HOME NO NEED FOR A MAP, I'LL JUST PICK A TRACK AND KEEP WALKING ON WITH THE SUN ON MY BACK SUN ON MY BACK I WISH I WAS RIDING FIVE ABREAST A TATTOO OF MY COLOURS PROUDLY DISPLAYED ON MY CHEST A MODERN DAY OUTLAW STRIKING FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF ANYONE THAT DARES TO STAND IN MY PATH I WISH I WAS DRIVING AN 18-WHEELER ACROSS THE HIGHWAYS OF NORTH AMERICA OR SCREECHING ROUND THE NEW YORK STREETS WITH THE SCREAMING SIRENS OF THE FOLLOWING HEAT I WISH I WAS BEING CHAUFFEURED IN A LIMOUSINE A MOVIE STAR ON THE COVERS OF ALL THE MAGAZINES OR CRUISING IN A TOUR BUS, BLACK AND CHROME FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN TO MY L.A. HOME I WISH I WAS RIDING ON A SNAKING TRAIN ACROSS THE CANADIAN ROCKIES OR THE AFRICAN PLAINS THE MOAN OF THE HORN AND THE DING OF THE BELL WAKING EACH DAY TO A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE WORLD DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE WORLD A EUROPEAN TOWN, I'M HITCHING A RIDE WITH THE DEVIL RIDING OUT TO THE OTHER SIDE I'LL TAKE A GLIMPSE BACK ONCE OR TWICE LESS AND LESS WITH EVERY ROLL OF THE DICE..... |
