Wish
You Were Her -
Billy Bragg
There's
a girl sleeping in my bed
And
I'm singing unwritten songs in my head
She
provided bittersweet company
I confided
how much you mean to me
And
this time
It's
gonna take a train to pull me through
Some
brief distraction from your memory
Is all
that I hoped that she might be
And
as I let her warm her feet on me
Wish
you were her
That
I wanted you to be my wife
Is the
worst kept secret of my life
Everyone
knows, even my friend here
I've
just whispered your name in her ear
And
this time
It's
gonna take a train to pull me through
Some
brief distraction from your memory
Is all
that I had hoped that she might be
And
I ask her how she takes her tea
Wish
you were her
Her
I wish
you were her
