Sometimes I Wish

Gordon Lightfoot

Dreaming of the love I lost, the day the final bridge was crossed, 
sometimes I wish that I could just forget. 
But the memory lingers yet, and it hangs around, leaving me low and leaving me down. 
Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home. 
Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way. 

I begin to wake up to, how wrong it was to cling to you. 
Sometimes I wish, to hold you to my heart cause I can't keep us apart. 
Forgiving you was the easiest thing that I ever could do. 
Everywhere I go, there is no one I know.  Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow. 

As I wander, I return, to days gone by there's much to be learned. 
Sometimes I wish that miracles could be, but at best I fail to see any happening. 
Some gotta lose and some gotta win.  Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home. 
Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way. 

Everywhere I go, there is no one I know. 
Even I can see, it's too late now to believe in a vow.  You're leaving right now.
