(I Spent Hours Again) Wishing You Well

by Billie Ray Martin

on 4 Ambient Tales (1993), four ambient tales (2000)

I wonder why you're back to see me
And I wonder where you've been
And when you told me you happened to be near
You know I was afraid to ask
And I pretend
I don't care when
I spent hours again
Wishing you well

Oh I wish that I could stop you
Telling me about what's new
You'll tell me how wonderful you feel
And how far away you'd go
And I spent hours again
Wishing you well

I wish you well
I wish you well
I oh well

Oh I've heard that you were seen
Wandering round this town
Oh yeah you're gonna tell me this is just a rumour
I know
You ain't been around
Don't tell me lies
You don't need this guise
I'll wish you well again
Because I spent hours again, oh
Wishing you well

I wish you well
I wish you well
I oh well
I wish you well
I wish you well
