Wish You Were (acoustic version) lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


Gone away are the golden days
They're just a page in my diary
So here I am a utopian citizen
I'm still convinced
There's no such thing as idealism

Well memories that followed with me like a shadow now
And I'm dreamin'
'Cause I've already suffered the fever of disbelief

But I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

And it ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
But I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here

I was true as the sky is blue
But I couldn't soon say the same for you
So now I find denial in my eyes
I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind

Tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart
For what it is
'Cause I don't want to keep on believin' in illusions
'Cause I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

And it ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
But I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here

Sometimes I can't explain
And I'm so sorry that I can't
I'll try to concentrate
On your true identity

'Cause I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

And it ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
But I'm still in love with who I wish you were

I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

I wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
