Art Garfunkel Wishbone song lyrics

A wishbone was broken

I'm left holding the smaller part

With words left unspoken

They rattle round in my empty heart

Help me start to lay this burden down

On the solid ground

How many people hold the ones they love

Just like there's no tomorrow

How many people know the turning hands of time

Are stranger than us all

Time's always walkin'

I check my watch you'd be forty-five

It seems like God just ain't talkin'

I wish to God you were still alone

Every night I wonder where you are

Holding half my heart

How many people hold the ones they love

Just like there's no tomorrow

How many people know the turning hands of time

Are stranger than us all

All the days are gone the nights go on

Help me hear the words, "walk on"

How many people hold the ones they love

Just like there's no tomorrow

How many people know the turning hands of time

Are stranger than us all

I wish I would have told you that

The air you breathe was everything;
