Wish you were here
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
skrev denna i ett kärleksbrev till min hustru för snart 15 år sedan, och se hur det slutade.......
Jag vet älskade pappa, jag hoppas på samma sak... Jag tänkte på dig när jag skrev detta...och på min älskling!
Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments
While the city's still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain
And in the tired spaces
You could hear her name
When she was warm and tender and you
Held her arms around you
There was nothing
But her love and affection
She was crazy for you
Now she's part of something that you lost
And for all you know
This could be the difference
Between what you need
And what you wanna be
Nights swimming in her diamond dress
Making small circles
Move across the surface
Stand watching from the steady shore
Feeling wide open
And waiting for
Something warm and tender
Now she's moving further from you
There was nothing that could
Make it easy on you
Every step you take reminds you
That she's walking on
Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down
Day breaking on the boulevard
Feel the sun warming up
Your second hand heart
Light swimming across your face
And you think
Maybe someday
For all you know
And for all that you know
This is what you wanna be
what you wanna be
