Wishing Well Blues
Chris Jones & The Night Drivers
Chalk Lines And Dust (2026)
Intro
Verse 1
There’s A Sign On The Cafe Window
It Says Closed Please Call Again
If Only You’d Been Wearing That Sign On Your Heart
I Never Would Have Tried To Come In
I’ve Heard That True Love Will Make A Survivor
When The Pushing Comes To A Shove
But I May As Well Have Tried To Hold Back The Tide
As To Try And Go And Win Your Love
Chorus
So Throw Me A Penny In The Wishing Well
Knock Me My Fist On The Wood
Sometimes I’ve Got To Laugh At This Funny Old World
When Crying Seems To Do Me No Good
There Are Nights When I Wander On The Streets Alone
I See Your Face In The Stars Above
But I May As Well Have Tried To Hold Back The Tide
As To Try And Go And Win Your Love
Verse 2
There’s A Sign On The Hotel Doorway
It Says No Vacancy
If Only I’d Known You Felt That Way
I Could Have Smiled And Walked On By
I’ve Heard That True Love Will Lift You Off Your Feet
As If You Had The Wings Of A Dove
But I May As Well Have Tried To Hold Back The Tide
As To Try And Go And Win Your Love
Chorus
So Throw Me A Penny In The Wishing Well
Knock Me My Fist On The Wood
Sometimes I’ve Got To Laugh At This Funny Old World
When Crying Seems To Do Me No Good
There Are Nights When I Wander On The Streets Alone
I See Your Face In The Stars Above
But I May As Well Have Tried To Hold Back The Tide
As To Try And Go And Win Your Love
