Wishful Sinful

Wishful crystal
Water covers everything in blue
Coolin' water

Wishful sinful
Our love is beautiful to see
I know where I would like to be
Right back where I came

Wishful, sinful, wicked blue
Water covers you
Wishful, sinful, wicked you
Can't escape the blue

Magic risin'
Sun is shinin' deep beneath the sea
But not enough for you and me and sunshine
Love to hear the wind cry

Wishful sinful
Our love is beautiful to see
I know where I would like to be
Right back where I came

Wishful, sinful, wicked blue
Water covers you
Wishful, sinful, wicked you
Can't escape the blue

Love to hear the wind cry
Love to hear you cry, yeah, yeah

One of the best Doors ballads.
Also one of the best non Morrison songs The Doors ever produced.
A simple enough love song filled with great imagery courtesy of guitar player Robby Krieger.
Musically a perfect example of how The Doors strings and horns should work.
The Soft Parade was criticised for its string and horn arrangements but this song was without doubt a perfect answer to such criticism.

Released as a single with the B-side - "Who Scared You?"
One of Jim Morrison's best crooning vocals.
