A love song with a tragic ending. I WISH, IWISH I followed you around As you pulled the strings Of my heart Telling me how much you needed me Right from the start I listened with intent Hanging on your every word I was struck by your wisdom And by words I’d never heard I wish, I wish I knew What now I know to be true It was only about me It had nothing to do with you She was beautiful and kind A grade above my pay She created poetic mishief And heads out of clay I was taken by her delight In watching me ache For all the love she would give At night, by the lake I wish, I wish I knew What now I know to be true It was only about me It had nothing to do with you And then the other shoe dropped Right out of the sky I knew I had to hide Before the drama would make me cry She just jumped without a warning Drowned without a note Leaving behind memories And her beige overcoat I wish, I wish I knew What now I know to be true I can only imagine How all of this must seem to youmore
