WISHIN’ I’D LISTENED

by Stan C. Countz

CHORUS
I swore you’d be fine / I ignored all the signs
Couldn’t see the speed bumps up ahead
Toolin’ down the road / in automatic mode
While you were lyin’ in your bed
I was miles away / when you passed away
By the time I arrived, you were dead
Now I’m wishin’ I’d listened to what the doctor said
Now I’m wishin’ I’d listened to what the doctor said

VERSE 1
I was a “man on a mission” / unaware of your condition
Now I’m wishin’ I’d listened to what the doctor said
Now I’m wishin’ I’d listened to what the doctor said

Who knows when we will go? / how well can anyone tell?
The tides ebb and flow ‘til we all leave this shell
Til we all leave this shell

SHORT CHORUS
I swore you’d be fine / I ignored all the signs
Couldn’t see the road block up ahead
Toolin’ down the road / in automatic mode
While you were lyin’ in your bed
Now I’m wishin’ I’d listened to what the doctor said

INSTRUMENTAL/BRIDGE

No one knows where the wind will blow
When it’s time to come or time to go
Who knows where we will go or where we will be? for all eternity?
Who knows where we will go or where we will be? for all eternity?
