Gordon Lightfoot
Sometimes I Wish
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Everywhere I roam
There is nobody home
Even I should know
When it ain't my day
There is no other way
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go
There is no one I know
Even I can see
It's too late now
To believe in a vow
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
