Wishing on the Moon Songtext
von Dan Fogelberg

How many eyes will you sack in sorrow?
Seeking to borrow some sight of your own
How many lies will you have to suffer
Until you discover there? s nobody home

How many roads will you have to wander
How many dead end streets
How many dreams will you finally squander
Dodging your own defeats

You? re wishing on the moon tonight
There? s not a lucky star in sight
Just wishing on the moon tonight

How many doors will you have to open
Desperately hoping each one? s the last
How many more will you close behind you
Bitter and blind to the shadows you cast

How many fools you have to follow
How many wayward winds
How many sin′s you have to swallow
Until the truth sinks in, that you? ve been


Wishing on the moon tonight
There? s not a lucky star in sight
Just wishing on the moon tonight
You? re wishing on the moon

How many eyes will you sack in sorrow
Seeking to borrow some sight of your own
How many lies will you have to suffer
Until you discover there? s nobody home

How many roads will you have to wander
How many dead end streets
How many dreams will you finally squander
Dodging your own defeats

You? re wishing on the moon tonight
There? s not a lucky star in sight
Just wishing on the moon tonight

You? re wishing on the moon tonight
There? s not a lucky star in sight
Just wishing on the moon tonight
Wishing on the moon

You're just, just, just wishing
