lyrics
Last thing I remember I was running for the door
to go and be an artist in that city by the shore
instead I hung my bohemian dreams from a Washington Square Park tree bough
and wished it well.
If you keep some love inside your heart you never will grow old
at least those were the last words by my mother I was told
so I plucked my loving heart out whole, sent it to my mother wrapped in bows
and wished it well.
When I was five I told myself I’d never wind up here
then I saw my days dry up for thirty two odd years
I take the pale arms of my youth, stab them through the wrist with nails
and wish them well.
Poetry’s the poor man’s way of pouring out his heart
and paying up’s how the rich man thinks he suffers for his art
well I am neither rich or poor just counting up the spare change
to wish it well.
You can climb a height so high you can barely breath the air
or sink so low in the gutter you could end up dying there
well I climb neither high nor low just stuck here going nowhere
and wish it well.
Some men live their futures like they never had a past
and others live their moments like that moment was their last
but I just sit here waste my time watching taxis drive by
and wish them well.
New York ain’t no different than the town where I grew up
just a little bit big and a little bit mean and the people don’t shut up
and the fags down at the corner store are getting louder by the hour
and I wish them well.
Someday I will quit this life and kneel where I once stood
and you will gather up my bones just like you said you would
and I will do the best I can to love you like I should
and wish you well.
