Wish You Were Here

Colorado Sandstorm Music, B.M.I.

1.	Selma in the summer. Wish You Were Here
	This heat is driving me nuts
	Sticky and still, can’t sleep at night, Wish You Were Here
	Too much noise from all the bugs

chorus	I want to leave. I want to leave
	Things are finally coming clear
	Darling, oh darling, instead of me
	Oh, I Wish You Were Here

2.	Winter in Wisconsin. Wish You Were Here
	Icy wind screams through the trees
	Shaking, and shivering, can’t sleep at night, Wish You Were Here
	Feeling like my breath will freeze alternate line: Listening to the forest freeze

chorus	I want to leave. I want to leave
	If this snow would only clear
	Darling, oh darling, instead of me, instead of me
	Oh, I Wish You Were Here

bridge	What you put me through has got me feeling worse than blue
	I just had to up and go somewhere
	Now I so alone and I want to be back home
	And I could, and I would, but you're still there

3.	Huddled in a deep hole. Wish You Were Here
	This pit of sorrow and despair
	Broken and blinded, there’s no way out
	There’s no ladder, and there’s no stair

chorus	I want to leave. I want to leave
	Allow me please to make this clear
	Darling, oh darling, instead of me, instead of me
	Oh, I Wish You Were Here

	(instrumental break)

chorus	You’ll finally see. You'll finally see
	I’ll make it home, and let’s be clear
	Darling, oh darling, instead of me, instead of me
	How I Wish You Were Here

coda	Believe me when I tell you, I'm wishing I were home and oh
	How I Wish You Were Here
	I Wish You Were Here

"I started writing Wish You Were Here in April, 2012, when I was in a funk and thought writing a song about it would help. It did. I emailed it to Doc who worked with me on lyric changes, set it to music, and arranged it. "
