Wish Songtext
von Karl Broadie

She talks about the light from the street
Playing on the curtains
And the flowers on the curtains
As she combs her hair
Her shyness shows
As she lays her clothes neatly
In a pile and makes for the sheets
Quickly

I did not wish for this
To live a lie
On the other side of town
I have nothing to say
I did not wish for this
The truth in disguise
No, I did not wish for this


Slow motion from her lips
And I watch the words floating
My love, you can move a little closer
If you like
A bedside lamp from the 1970s lit the room
And we could not stop staring
We could not get any closer
If we tried

I did not wish for this
To live a lie
On the other side of town
I have nothing to say
I did not wish for this
The truth in disguise
No, I did not wish for this

Not a word will be spoken
About the dream down the hall
And if I deserve it at all
Where is the crime in falling for real this time?
Surely I′m just like everyone


I did not wish for this
To live a lie
On the other side of town
I have nothing to say
I did not wish for this
The truth in disguise
No, I did not
No, I did not
No, I did not wish for this
