I Can Only Wish

I buried my boys today Thirteen wasn't bad enough What a pain in my heart It's mine now, gone from them They suffer no more More than a hundred years Barely seen half of that I can only wish Brothers to the very end I can only wish Love to take my boys out Take them out all day Take them to the running field Run the while away I can only wish Love to buy my boat back Buy it back all day Wish I had my old boat Wish I’d fish today If I could only fish
