Missed a train to look at the flowers
growing wild by the station wall.
So pretty in the daytime,
they shied away come nighttime
leaving me
with nothing at all.

Only had change for one coffee
then I spied a wishing well
Something was wrong
the water was all gone
watched my hopes sink
as the coins fell

A thousand things will lead you astray
from all those things you could've done
if its the risk you choose
you'll probably lose,
but once in a while
I have won.
