Prisoner of Wishes

The sun is low in the west this winter day

And I have come a long, long way

I shiver on the cold floor

As I have so many times before

God knows if it's still a long way to go

Whatever that means, I don't know

I'm a prisoner of wishes

Keeping a hold on a dream I want

In the short last daylight of December

Only a few good things left to remember

May be it ain't the right kind of a life

For a man with a child and a wife

The moon shines through the falling snow

And I watch my thoughts come and go

I'm a prisoner of wishes

Keeping a hold on a dream I want

In my dreams I walk an endless street

With snowy hairs and frozen feet

I'm at home but also I'm gone

I'm the type of man who has little to say

Now and then out of my mind, losing my way

I cross the park, humming my old song

Asking myself if nothing's going wrong

In the frost a sliver of moon slides by

Like another empty question I answer with a lie

I'm a prisoner of wishes

Keeping a hold on a dream I want

I'm a prisoner of wishes

Keeping a hold on a dream I want

God knows if it's still a long way to go

Whatever that means, I don't know

I'm a prisoner of wishes

Keeping a hold on a dream I want

I'm a prisoner of wishes

Keeping a hold on a dream I want
