lyrics

Darling put your blue dress on,
And won't you say you will
Meet tonight on the edge
Up on Turner's Hill
There's something in the evening breeze
There's magic in the air
We'll ride these rusted roads 'til dawn
And find it waiting there

So darling if you're weary
As the night just lingers on
Lay your head upon my chest
And the wish keeps burning on

There's a darkness blowing in, my dear
Across a fractious night
We're riding on a hurricane
Tearing down the line
The anthems of our youth
Blasting in on the radio
And a fire burning in our hearts
Now the wish it can't be broke

Won't you take my hand
As the world comes crashing down
And I'll hold you in my heart
Tonight we'll stand our ground

A dream weaves through a crystal sky
As I pull you near
With a blessed prayer upon my lips
I'll whisper in your ear

So darling if you're weary
As the night just lingers on
Lay your head upon my chest
And the wish keeps burning on

Oh, I have got a wish my dear
And the wish belongs to you
Oh I have got a wish my dear
And the wish you know is true
Oh I have got a wish my dear
And the wish belongs to you
