I Wish I Were Lyrics
I can hardly move
And I sure can grow
Can hardly see why
I am so afraid
And the days are long
And I, I can�t get rid of whats wrong
Its plain to see
That the problem isn�t
Isn�t in me
I wish
I were a sailor dancing
Dancing for your love
Am I somewhere in the middle?
Do I count as being special?
Is there a sincerity in anything that I say?
Do I know what anything means?
Can I, can I see all?
I listen to the radio
Not music but the talk shows
I watch a lot of PBS and BBC
And I want to meet the Press
I�m scared
I�m scared
I�m scared of what I see
The only thing I recognize
Is the pain in my side
The hunger that I feel
Is the only thing
The only thing that is real
I wish
I were a sailor
Dancer, dancing for your love
Do, do, ah
Oh-ah, lo, lo, lo, ah, ah
Do, lo, lo, lo
Ah, la
And I sure can grow
Can hardly see why
I am so afraid
And I, I can�t get rid of whats wrong
Its plain to see
That the problem isn�t
Isn�t in me
I were a sailor dancing
Dancing for your love
Do I count as being special?
Is there a sincerity in anything that I say?
Do I know what anything means?
Can I, can I see all?
Not music but the talk shows
I watch a lot of PBS and BBC
And I want to meet the Press
I�m scared
I�m scared of what I see
The only thing I recognize
Is the pain in my side
The hunger that I feel
Is the only thing
The only thing that is real
I were a sailor
Dancer, dancing for your love
Do, do, ah
Oh-ah, lo, lo, lo, ah, ah
Do, lo, lo, lo
Ah, la

the lyrics are wrong here. corrections in capital letters And I sure CANT GROOVE
That the problem IS IS in me
I wish I were a SINGER A DANCER
Can I, OH CAN I SEE
I DONT want to meet the Press
and again the chorus, singer and dancer not sailor.
i love this song. musically it is extremely minimalist and simple, also the lyrics. but she has a voice that will go directly to your soul. it breaks my heart every time i hear it. i always wonder what she feels she has accomplished, if she can aknowledge that she is an amazing artist, because in this song she says "i wish i was a singer...".
