Patty Smith---Wish I Were You





Time goes by

I fall out of touch

I can't explain

Why I fall so much

I bought a pack of cigarettes

Sent an old Elvis stamp to your new address

The weather's here

With showers, fine

Wish that you could read between the lines

CHORUS

Cause you dream in colors by night

Rose and black and blue

I'll send a postcard

Oh how

I wish that I were you

I wish I were you

Cause I am nothing

You are more

Than flesh and blood

A golden door

Let me come inside of you

Let me do the things I want to do

Now take me down to where you live

And take the things I cannot give

CHORUS

Cause you are like the ocean

I'm a river that's run dry

If you cannot reach me

All my white flowers

They will die

Now take me down to where you live

Take the things I cannot give

CHORUS

Now take me down to where you live

Take the things I cannot give
