Wish I Were You Lyrics - Singles - Patty Smith

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
