Wanna wish it all away

Michael Walters

Wanna wish it all away

Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said i wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
I don’t want to ever feel this way again… no no
On the wayside I wanna wish it all away yeah.
And they called and I said that I want what I said
Im never going to see her again oh no
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said i don’t i don’t know whether
Im the boxer or the bag

Ah yeah ehh….
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they don’t wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I don’t want to stay…

Make me cry

Oh I see them
I wanna wish it all away
and write and i write and i don’t believe it’s going to change today
on the porch sat a letter
Oh I said I don’t, I don’t know whether Im a boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh….
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they don’t wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I don’t want to stay
I don’t wanna stay

    fantastic work, i wish i could be to experience such beauty…. your so talented guy…..

  • Cindy Olivier

    Cindy Olivier

    yip – when I go out of Johanesburg, but here it is just hassel and bussel with nothing nice to look at except the people….... any other place is better than here… I grew up in Natal, which is by the coast, that was stunning, i have worked in Rustenberg, i place between the mountains – that was stunning, but here, no comment… lol

  • Michael Walters replied

    haha, i have never been to South Africa bu i know there is much beauty, and im happy you have seen lots of it! Not so happy for you thought about your lack of beauty where you are now:( BUT that makes getting away even better right:)

  • Cindy Olivier

    Cindy Olivier

    Right, so right, except my boss doesnt give me leave, when i ask him to sign and approve my leave application for december he declined it… go figure. So i ended up sick with yellow jaundice so the doctor gave me leave.. lol. We are planning to go to Cape Town next year January… cant wait… a very long wait…

  • Michael Walters replied

    hmm, not a “good times” boss then? dam! thats not very nice that you have to go and get sick to get some leave. But thats great you are off to Cape Town, hope time flies past for you:)

  • Cindy Olivier

    Cindy Olivier

    His actually a great boss, he took me from a nothing in this massive international company, and trained me up all the way into management position, HR and Reworks Manager (note 2 jobs) lol.. if i go on leave, no one will get paid if he is not there iether, and he already put his leave in.

  • Michael Walters replied

    arrr so you are needed!! to keep the place afloat by the sounds of it! See what happens when you are too good at your job:) NO LEAVE!!! :)

  • Cindy Olivier

    Cindy Olivier

    not planning to stay here forever, my husband and the band have plans to go to London, so I dont know…... nothing definite yet, but what an experience to go abroad, London of all places i dont know about… i can think of others.. but who am I to stand against there vision… lol…

  • Michael Walters replied

    I lived in London for a while and it’s great if you like big busy cities, but im not so much that person, it is a lot of fun there. You got to give your husband a chance at his dreams and you can always leave again. But best of luck to both of you over there:)
