Wish You Were Here

I'm standing on this wooden pier
 Just people getting along
 A little boy with his fishing gear
 And an old man playing a song
 I took a picture of these strangers
 Just like you would do
 I feel so underworked and out of danger
 I wish that you could too
 I wish you were here
 To soak up this town
 I can't wait any longer
 The sun's going down
 And I've been thinking, lately
 Holding back a tear
 I wish you were here
 I walked along the sandy shore
 Holding both my shoes
 And I could smell the candy store
 And your honey-glazed cashews
 A family on a blanket
 Full of sunscreen, shades and food
 A radio playing Maggie May
 I almost came unglued
 I wish you were here
 I think you'd love this town
 I can't wait any longer
 The sun's almost down
 And I've been thinking, lately
 Holding back a tear
 I wish you were here
 And you're the one that carries me
 When my head feels out of control
 And you will always be the one
 That lingers in my soul
 I wish you were here
 I know you'll love this town
 I can't wait any longer
 The sun's just went down
 And I've been thinking, lately
 Holding back a tear
 I wish you were here
 In the light from these lamps on this lonely street
 And I've been thinking, lately
 Still holding back a tear
 I wish you were here
 I wish you were here
