paroles de chanson Wish You Were Here - Billy Bragg

There's a girl
Sleeping in my bed
And I'm singing
Unwritten songs in my head.
She provided
Bitter-sweet company.
I confided
How much you mean to me.

And this time
It's gonna take a train to pull me through.
Some brief distraction from your memory
Is all that I had hoped that she might be
And as I let her warm her feet on me
Wish you were her.

That I wanted
You to be my wife
Is the worst-kept
Secret of my life.
Everyone knows.
Even our friend here.
I've just whispered
Your name in her ear.

And this time
It's gonna take a train to pull me through.
Some brief distraction from your memory
Is all that I had hoped that she might be
And as I ask her how she takes her tea
Wish you were her.

Her.

I wish

You were her.
