SOMETIMES I WISH - Lyric
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 2004


Dreaming of a love I lost, the day the final bridge was crossed
Sometimes I wish that I could just forget
But the memory lingers yet and it hangs around
Leavin' me low and leavin' me down.

Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home
Even I should know, when it ain't my day, there is no other way.

(bridge)

I begin to wake up to, how wrong it was to cling to you
Sometimes I wish to hold you to my heart
'Cause I can't keep us apart, forgiving you
Was the easiest thing that I ever could do.

Everywhere I go, there is no one I know
Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow.

(bridge)

As I wander I return to days gone by, there's much to be learned
Sometimes I wish that miracles could be
But at best I fail to see any happening
Some gotta lose and some gotta gain.

Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home
Even I should know, when it ain't my day, there is no other way.

Everywhere I go, there is no one I know
Even I can see it's too late now to believe in a vow

You're leavin' right now.
