"Sometimes I Wish" lyrics - GORDON LIGHTFOOT

Dreaming of the love I lost, the day the final bridge was crossed,
Sometimes I wish that I could just forget.
But the memory lingers yet, and it hangs around, leaving me low and leaving me down.
Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home.
Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way.

I begin to wake up to, how wrong it was to cling to you.
Sometimes I wish, to hold you to my heart 'cause I can't keep us apart.
Forgiving you was the easiest thing that I ever could do.
Everywhere I go, there is no one I know. Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow.

As I wander, I return, to days gone by there's much to be learned.
Sometimes I wish that miracles could be, but at best I fail to see any happening.
Some gotta lose and some gotta win. Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home.
Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way.

Everywhere I go, there is no one I know.
Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow. You're leaving right now.
