I wish you loads of fortune
Cashews
And grains of salt from foreign grounds
I wish you mobility
Through a sky not travelled by
I wish for you to dream and fly
Enjoy the fair food
Like it's wine
I wish for you to pass the time
With humble thoughts you won't admit
Abandon the life to which I couldn't commit
To which I fix that, bit by bit
And last of all
I wish you immaturity
The ability to love and lose, to lick you lips
To close your eyes
And choose
And I wish there was a better way
If common sense can't mend the break
Love like this is far too light
So I'll sit knee deep and drunk in history
Stroke blonde hair, and curse all night.

Through a sky not travelled by
I wish for you to dream and fly

I wish for you to pass the time
With humble thoughts you won't admit
Abandon the life to which I couldn't commit
To which I fix that, bit by bit
And last of all
I wish you immaturity
The ability to love and lose, to lick you lips
To close your eyes
And choose
And I wish there was a better way
If common sense can't mend the break
Love like this is far too light
So I'll sit knee deep and drunk in history
Stroke blonde hair, and curse all night.
