Dave Taylor - Wishful Thinking Lyrics

Passing the time on a lazy kind of river
Kidding myself I'm pulling all the strings
A fool in love always cheating at patience
Imagination soaring on magic wings

Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do
I need that wishful thinking to see me through
As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend
Wishful thinking is my best friend

Dropping coins down that wishing well
Praying for escape from all this reality
Lottery dreams woven in a magic spell
But all in vain as it will only be

Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do
I need that wishful thinking to see me through
As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend
Wishful thinking is my best friend

Could it be that one day I'll take off
On that magic carpet ride
And all that wishful thinking will come true
And all my trials will be cast aside

We all know that little old ant
Ain't never going to shift that rubber tree plant
And that ram at that dam battering away for years
All those high hopes will just end in tears and

Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do
I need that wishful thinking to see me through
As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend
Wishful thinking is my best friend

Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do
I need that wishful thinking to see me through
As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend
Wishful thinking is my best friend
