Lyrics All These Wishes - Wendy McNeill

Bursts of white blossoms were appearing
On the surface of the sea
Each one a Lilly scented whisper
Whose essence said that she
Would soon get what she wanted
That her dream would come to pass
She pulled her gaze from the horizon
As she heard a violent splash
All these wishes
All this time
Kept me guessing
Is this why
On the rocks a fish lie gasping
Strapped to its back a tattered map
She picked her way through stands toward him
One step forward
Two steps back
All these wishes
All this time
Kept me guessing
Is this why
