" ...only to be rediscovered some years hence and acclaimed as a flawed but magnificent work of genius long after I have succumbed to a tragic, unrecognised and untimely death."

From: "Lights on Barkhouse"

Wish You Were Here

Ooh, pardon me
If this phone call isn't welcome after all of these years
But I had to phone to find out if you still think of me
I wish you were here

Ooh, you must hate me
To interrupt your life now, to try and make amends
But maybe if you can't love me, we can still be friends
Oh, I wish you were here


So many nights I've laid here lost in my regret
Trying not to remember what I'm trying to forget
But it tears my heart to think of all those hateful things I said
I had to call tonight to lay these bitter ghosts to rest


Oh, please forgive me
I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted out
Now I've found out you are someone I can't live without
And I wish you were here

Oh, why so silent
Am I really so vile, did I hurt you so bad
I can tell you now, I wish I never had
And I wish you were here


So many nights I've laid here lost in my regret
Trying not to remember what I'm trying to forget
But it tears my heart to think of all those hateful things I said
I had to call tonight to lay these bitter ghosts to rest


Oh, do you miss me
I miss you with a pain I thought could never be
I miss your reassurance - you looked after me
Oh, I wish you were here

In my dreams I see you
You're smiling at a party like the time that we met
And in my dreams I'm happy 'cause we're not finished yet
And I'm glad that you're here


So many nights I've laid here lost in my regret
Trying not to remember what I'm trying to forget
But it tears my heart to think of all those hateful things I said
I had to call tonight to lay these bitter ghosts to rest
