Richard Garvey

Lyrics

When I find a wishing well
I’ll throw away all of my money
and hope for steady pay cheque
or a few less bills to pay

I’ll close my eyes
and pray to god
to do away with all of the banks
and finally reveal
true wealth to all
as something you could never save

and spend, your life
spend your whole life
living out love for the poor

riches and fame
i have not
just like my name
they’ll all be forgot
with the last amen
a broken song
hallelujah

the weight of my debts
burdens my soul
like a deadly sin
i’ve lost control

with tears in my eyes at the royal mint
i wait on the bench
but i don’t
go in
