Wishes of My Heart…. I had writer's block after Mary's death… Jack Hardy said I needed to write this song even if I never performed it. I think he was probably right.
lyrics
Let her go… say goodbye
No excuses, no alibis
She’s gone away
Against the wishes of my heart
Late night….
I lie here and she’s not with me
I’m all alone
Against the wishes of my heart
Chorus
My heart don’t speak that language
You broke it in two
After all the time we spent together
Can’t face a day without you
Solo
Repeat chorus
So goodbye
Goodbye
I’m gonna walk away
Against the wishes of my heart….
Against the wishes of my heart
