The Wish (Album Version) - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)
Dirty old street all slushed up
In the rain and snow

Little boy and his ma shivering
Outside a rundown music store window

That night on top of a Christmas
Tree shines one beautiful star

And lying underneath a brand-new
Japanese guitar

I remember in the morning ma
Hearing your alarm clock ring

I'd lie in bed and listen to you
Gettin' ready for work

The sound of your makeup case

On the sink

And the ladies at the office
All lipstick perfume and rustlin' skirts

And how proud and happy you
Always looked walking home from work

If pa's eyes were windows
Into a world so deadly and true

You couldn't stop me from
Looking but you kept me from
Crawlin' through

And if it's a funny old world

Mama where a little boy's wishes come true

Well I got a few in my pocket

And a special one just for you

It ain't no phone call on Sunday

Flowers or a mother's day card

It ain't no house on a hill with
A garden and a nice little yard

I got my hot rod down on Bond Street
I'm older but you'll know me in a glance

We'll find us a little rock 'n roll bar

And baby we'll go out and dance

Well it was me in my Beatle boots
You in pink curlers and matador pants

Pullin' me up of the couch
To do the twist for my uncles and aunts

Well I found a girl of my own now
Ma I popped the question on your birthday

She stood waiting on the front porch while
You were telling me to get out there
And say what it was that I had to say

Last night we all sat around laughing

At the things that guitar brought us

And I layed awake thinking 'bout the
Other things it's brought us

Well tonight I'm takin's requests
Here in the kitchen
This one's for you ma let me
Come right out and say it

It's overdue but baby if you're
Looking for a sad song

Well I ain't gonna play it
