With Every Wish Lyrics
Bruce Springsteen
- Ol' catfish in the lake, we called him Big Jim
- When I was a kid, my only wish was to get my line in him
- Skipped church one Sunday rowed out and throw'd in my line
- Jim took that hook pole and me right over the side
- Went driftin' down past old tires and rusty cans of beer
- The Angel of the lake whispered in my ear
- "Before you chose your wish son, you better think first
- With every wish there comes a curse"
- I fell in love with beautiful Doreen
- She was the prettiest thing this old town'd ever seen
- I courted her and I made her mine
- But I grew jealous whenever another man come walkin' down the line
- And my jealousy made me treat her mean and cruel
- She sighed, "Bobby oh Bobby, you're such a fool
- Don't you know before you choose your wish, you'd better think first
- 'Cause with every wish there comes a curse"
- These days I sit around and laugh at the many rivers I've crossed
- But on the far banks there's always another forest where a man get lost
- Well, there in the high trees love's bluebird glides
- Guiding us across to another river on the other side
- And there someone is waitin' with a look in her eyes
- And though my heart's grown weary and more than a little bit shy
- And I don't drink from her waters to quench my thirst
- Leave the angels to worry with every wish
