Bruce Springsteen - With Every Wish Lyrics
Ol catfish in the lake, we called him big jimWhen I was a kid, my only wish was to get my line in himSkipped church one sunday and throwd in my lineJim took that hook, pole and me right over the sideWent drifting down past old tires and rusty cans of beerThe angel of the lake whispered in my earBefore you chose your wish, son, youd better think firstWith every wish there comes a curseI fell in love with beautiful doreenShe was the prettiest thing this old townd ever seenI courted her and I made her mineBut I grew jealous whenever another mand come walkin down the lineAnd my jealousy made me treat her mean and cruelShe sighed, bobby, oh bobby, youre such a foolDont you know before you chose your wish youd better think firstWith every wish there comes a curseThese days I sit around and laugh at all the rivers Ive crossedBut on the far banks theres always another forest where a man can get lostWell there in the high trees loves bluebird glidesGuiding us cross another river on the other sideAnd there someone is waitin with a look in her eyesAnd though my hearts grown weary, and more than a little bit shyTonight Ill drink from her waters to quench my thirstAnd leave the angels to worryWith every wish...
