Wish you were here

Every night I see a thousand faces,
Every night I hear a thousand voices,
They're accusing me and I don't know why,
Every night the same old trial.
Every night there are a thousand questions
Every night there are a thousand tears,
Loneliness paints shadows on the wall,
Every night the same old fears.

And I call your name, crying for help,
Though I feel your breath, you're too far away to hear -
Wish you were here.

Every night the same old doubts,
Every night the same old thoughts,
Every night my spirit cries for leaving,
Every day a day against all odds.

And I call your name...

Every day the same old places,
Every day the same old ways,
Step by step you walk a path that other people choose for you
Not moving on – at all.
Every day the same reflected image,
A jester has to cover up his tears,
Every day the yearning for something I don't know,
Every day the same paralysis.

And I call your name...
