How many eyes will you sack in sorrow

Seeking to borrow some sight of your own

How many lies will you have to suffer

Until you discover there's nobody home

How many roads will you have to wander

How many dead end streets

How many dreams will you finally squander

Dodging your own defeats.



You're wishing on the moon tonight

There's not a lucky star in sight

Just wishing on the moon tonight.



How many doors will you have to open

Desperately hoping each one's the last

How many more will you close behind you

Bitter and blind to the shadows you cast

How many fools will you have to follow

How many wayward winds

How many sins will you have to swallow

Until the truth sinks in

(That you've been)



Wishing on the moon tonight

There's not a lucky star in sight

Just wishing on the moon tonight

You're wishing on the moon.



(Repeat first verse and chorus)
