Wish I Were You (Album Version)

Wish I Were You (Album Version) - Patty Smyth

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

Wish I was fine

Wish that you could read between the lines

'Cause you dream in colors

My night comes in 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 wanna do

Now take me down to where you live

And take the things I cannot give

'Cause you dream in colors

My night comes in black and blue

I'll send a postcard

Oh how I wish that I were you

It's you are like the ocean

I'm a river that's run dry

If you cannot reach me

All my wild you flowers they will die

Yeah yeah
