Bernard Fanning – Wish You Well – Tea & Sympathy

Up so early, feel so bright
Didn’t get much sleep last night
Freight train rattled through my head
Whistle blowing love is dead, is dead

Heart attack by fear and doubt
Won’t be long till the truth comes out
First impressions never last
Lovers’ bonds they hold so fast

Restless future burning bright
Past is holding on so tight
Never heard the warning bell
And I just wanna wish you well
I just wanna wish you well

Welcome swallows dip and swing
Take their cue from the slightest thing
Rolling fog into my room
Why did you give up on me so soon, so soon

Restless future burning bright
Past is holding on so tight
Never heard the warning bell
And I just wanna wish you well
I just wanna wish you well
I just wanna wish you well
I just wanna wish you well

Why did you give up on me so soon
… did you give up on me so soon

I just wanna wish you well
I just wanna wish you well

This will sound really weird and slightly pretentious but I have totally projected these words into T’s mouth. They are the words I hear him thinking. It’s perfect, right down to the fucking heart attack…
I’ve listened to it far too many times since first hearing it, out of nowhere, on the train on the way to T’s…

Oh dear… I wish I weren’t so cold.
