"I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish (Repeats) But it's all in vain" (Repeats) |
|
Different colors, different faces |
|
Different schools in different places |
|
Scour the morning papers, all in vain |
|
Evening after, who remembers? |
|
Say your prayers for the great pretenders |
|
I see nothing but flowers, all in vain "I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish (Repeats) But it's all in vain" (Repeats) |
|
All the gravestone elegies |
|
I-never-met-you memories |
|
And every |
|
T.V. picture, all in vain |
|
All your questions, deep as skin |
|
Seperate worlds to put them in |
|
Another might-have-been, all in vain "I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish" (Repeats) |
|
Color blind as tse-tse flies |
|
Sucking all our difference dry |
|
And as we sleep they multiply (Repeats) "All in vain" (Repeats) |
|
Multiply (Repeats) |
