ON LOCATION, by                    
First Line: I will throw a coin in the wishing well
Last Line: On happy road.
Subject(s): Wishes


I will throw a coin in the wishing well,
Whatever it may forebode;
I want a retreat on Skillful Street
At the crossing of Happy Road;
And whether my purse be empty or full
Or whether there's little to eat,
May my fingers be deft whatever I do
On Skillful Street.

I will throw a coin in the wishing well
For a wish that's hard to beat;
I want an abode on Happy Road
At the crossing of Skillful Street;
And whether love comes or whether it goes
Or whether love brings a load,
May I do with good cheer whatever I do
On Happy Road.
