Wish no. 1

One time flows into the next and i'm losing track
Sometimes i think i'll see clockhands turning back
But you insatiable you are my ticket home
The kitestring tying me down to the fencepost below
I could be climbing the walls in a padded room
If i owned up the things that i've done to you
But you invincible you are a lantern light
A grail-shaped beacon i dream and i don't know why
I told you already
I told you already
There's a black mark on me that i tried not to see
I told you already
I told you already
Never downplay feelings or you'll end up like me
One time flows into the next and i'm losing track
Sometimes i think i'll see clockhands turning back
But you i hasten to say have another choice
To call the heart what it is, an inner voice
It's my wish number 1
That you'll carry on
Long after i'm gone
