lyrics

Wishin' wells too deep.
Can't see my penny now.
My grandma gave me that to spend,
and I loved that penny but I tossed it in.

I lied when I came home.
It cut me to the bone.
Well my prayers never did come true.
I must've spent my chances on the one I threw.

But I couldn't stand to see her cry,
so that penny's in my care,
buried with my answered prayers.
Should I tell my children
that my stories are all fiction?

One day when I am old,
telling grandfather tales
about a love that passed with a happy end,
for a flame had dwindled to a dear old friend.

“Where is he now?”
They'll ask with intrigue.
I'll offer them a stoic smile,
as if the world we had was back for a while.

But I can't stand to cry,
so that flame will burn so blue.
But my prayers never did come true.
Should I tell my children
that my stories are all fiction?
