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 |
