"Wishing Well" lyrics - CHRISTOPHER CROSS

In this land of accessories
The obsolescent sheen
Like so many fools before us
Lost in dreams
What's behind the curtain
The dinette or the stole
Such important choices
To satisfy the soul

Take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell
Oh, take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)

The power of suggestion
The tabloids and the tube
Muscles and money, tits and glory
What's your story?
Are we so unhappy
Being what we are
Sly told us a long time ago
Everybody is a star

Take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell
Oh, take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up

Ooh...
(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)

Take it on down
(Take it on down)
Take it on down
(Take it on down)
Take it on down
(Take it on down)
Take it, take it

Take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell
Oh, take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell

Oh, take it on down to the wishing well
Take it on down to the wishing well
Oh...

(Take it on down)
(Take it)

(Take it on down)
(Take it)

(Take it on down)
(Take it)

(Take it on down)
(Take it)
