I Wish You Were Here © Terry Rush 2004


When I’m alone …, for days at a time
I erect walls… no one could climb
My delusions continue… disturbed and surreal
It’s a daunting task… sorting out what’s real

It’s clear to me…. On a revolving display
We make the same choices…. Day after day
we have everything…. that money can buy
can’t purchase a solution…. that will unify

bridge

You are my anchor…. So I don't drift away
You are the reason… I hold my demons at bay
When I cross the line …and see only despair
I find my way back… when I know you”re there

Chorus
I wish you were here
I wish you here right now
I’ve been looking at the world
without you beside me
the world gets inside me
I wish you were here
I wish you here right now
Cause I been lookin’ at the world

Loneliness is a magnet….attracts the paranoid
Conspiracies collect….clutters the void
Nights are restless…bouncing off the walls
My hope gets twisted…when clarity stalls

The self righteous sages… limiting my freedom
If I miss the rapture…I’m left out of the kingdom
These vicars of virtue….see it only one way
And if you disagree …there"ll be hell to pay

bridge

You are my ally… on that I depend
Someone to trust… unconditional friend
the world ‘s a circus… three ring mess
the pursuit of more…adds to my distress

chorus
