wishing you were real   so i could wish you mine   wishing you were real   i cling to all that is divine      my woman lies with the dewdrops   my courage with the stars   wishing you were real   so i could spy you from afar      aimed at her myths of horseflies   and spider eyes   spun to her gilded webs of hope   and mercy crimes      wishing you were real   so i could wish you mine   wishing you were real   i cling to all that is divine      wishing you were real   wishing you were real      we'll take our secrets to the grave   safely held beneath the thoughts   the secrets will be lost   while i'm forever not yours      i'm wishing you were real   my face is blistered true   wishing you were real   so that i could always wish for you      wishing you were real   wishing you were real   wishing you were real   wishing you were real   wishing you were real
