Well, it's been a long, long while   Almost a year now to the day   Since I was sent on my way      I got a place to stay   Down in that old suburban high-rise   Where the first timer buys      Every day is overcast   And the trains are always late   My head is somewhere in the past   So I hang around and wait for time to pass      It's probably my mistake   And certainly no one else?s heartache   I'm just another one to break      But a boy can get so confused   When there is nothing left to lose   I guess it's just my luck      That every lie I've tried to buy   Was never up for sale   These sour times weigh heavy   And have already tipped the scale      My oh my and hallelujah   Cross my heart and hope to die   I can swear my luck is changing      It's a welcome stranger here   ?Cause I'm running out of change   For my wishing well   So wish me well, wish me well      Wish me well   Wish me well   Wish me well
