From the recording Wake Up The Sun
Lyrics
I Wish You Were Here
I found a spot no one will see
Behind a fence among the weeds
And I dug a place to put your memory
There inside the cold damp earth
I tried to bury all the hurt
And with my finger wrote this in the dirt
I wish you were here to just disappear
I wish that I could make you fade
Like letters washed away by rain
And let the storms inside me finally clear
I wish you were here (2X)
On a dirty downtown street
A sidewalk stained by countless feet
With chalk I drew your outline on concrete
Arms and legs and neck outstretched
Your fingers balled up in two fists
And in pastels I wrote your name in it
(Repeat chorus)
(Coda)
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
