lyrics

WISHING THEY WERE YOU

The evening starts badly
I know I am to blame
She says her favourite colour’s silver
I say ‘well Judas was the same’
Don’t know what to do
Just spend my evenings sitting
With other women wishing
They were you

Every night I tell them
How you made my life a mess
How you look like a heart attack
In that little yellow dress
Don’t know what to do
Just spend my evenings sitting
With other women wishing
They were you

I don’t want to see nobody
If I can’t see you
I don’t want to waste their time or mine
But still I do it’s true

I know the evening’s wasted
Before I even know her name
Doesn’t matter how it starts
It always ends the same
Don’t know what to do
Just spend my evenings sitting
With other women wishing
They were you

I don’t want to see nobody
If I can’t see you
I don’t want to waste their time
But each night I do it’s true

Then I walk home alone
Shuffling with my dreams
Blowing like yesterday’s
Gossip magazines
Don’t know what to do
Just spend my evenings sitting
With other women wishing
They were you

Ever since you left
My future’s looking black
Darling won’t you tell me
Aren’t you ever coming back?
For until you do
I’ll spend my evenings sitting
With other women wishing
They were you
