Lyrics to one of the songs going on the '30 years' album. From the divorce days. Simple but true...

'Wishes'

Time make time, slip away
What I feel, from yesterday
Captured by a memory of a love that turned to pain
I can see the sunlight, but I feel the rain

One last tear, still we cry
To all we’ve known, we say goodbye,
But if I had a wish to keep, just one last lucky star
I’d wish we were together, but so far

All of my wishes, don’t change the way things are
Wishes, can never reach so far
All of my wishes, won’t change what’s in the past
Wishes, won’t change a thing.

Giving up, dreams let go
All those things, we’ll never know
And every time I turn around, still feeling you are there
Forgetting that it’s over, is so hard

But all of my wishes, won’t change the way we are
Wishes, will never reach so far
All of my wishes, can’t change what’s in the past
Wishes, won’t change a thing.
