Wish I Were Here Songtext

von Spock's Beard

The skies are clear, the water warm
Lying here beneath the palms
Wish I were here but I'm home
Watchin' TV with Dave
Central Park, the Empire State,
Brooklyn Bridge, man, that'd be great
But I can't get away I'd be late for
TV with Dave

I've been gone so long I don't even know I'm gone

The Eiffel Tower, The Golden Gate
I've been everywhere except every place
I'm always here with my face watchin'
TV with Dave
And now it's too late
Accept my fate
Hot Pockets 'n PBR and
TV with Dave

I've been gone so long I don't even know I'm gone

Wish I were here but I'm not
Wish I was drunk on a yacht
Or fallin' asleep with the sand in my toes
But who's got the time for all that?
