I wish, I wish, I wish
Once upon a time, as the story was told
A very funny, serious story
I wish I wasn't there to hear it
I wish I didn't come back from the ****** war
I wish I was dead
I wish I didn't leave home
I wish I stayed with her
I would be called a Coward
Why Coward? For not fighting for my country

I wish I didn't meet her
I wish, I wish, I wish
I always wish
As beautiful as a peacock, fresh as a morning breeze
Calm as a dove, the love of my life
Was she dead or alive?
Was she worried about me?
Why didn't she tell me she was going on a trip?
A trip of unknown destination
Why! Why!!

I wish I could change the hand of the clock
I wish I could tell her how much I love her
I wish I didn't yell at her
I wish I listened to her
I wish I had solved the issue
I wish, I wish, I wish
My wish could come true

What a stupid war
What happened to my love?
Can you come back to me?
Have I turned a new leaf?
Talking to a dead rose
As dead as she is
Smells like fresh Rosary's
Skin as smooth as ever
But my wish can never come true
My love has rested in Abraham's *****?
