lyrics

this illuminated JP Morgan sign must be scorned
and I wish you were here with me
in the wee hours of the morn the central London sky is torn
and I wish you were here with me (here with me)

dirty cherubs point at dirty river waters
homeless people sleep in sleeping bags unthought of
I think of all the joys that younger living brought us
and I wish you were here with me (here with me)

for drinking alone has long lost its allure
and I wish you were here with me
boredom is an ailment for which there's no known cure
but I wish you were here with me

though I know in my heart you do not feel the same
you probably feel sick at the very mention of my name
hopeful I'll remain and continue though in vain
wishing you were here with me (here with me)
