[Verse 1]
The tags on the city walls
The color, the fight
Ambition so tall
Remind me of you
The frost in the morning
The steel birds in flight
The reluctant dawn
Reminds me of you
[Chorus]
You hold your cards so close to your chest
That I give up the quest to know more
I let you unfold
I wanted to write you a letter or two
But the words wouldn't stay on the page
Oh, cling to an age
[Post-Chorus]
(I wish you were here
Wish you were here, wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here, wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here, wish you were here)
[Verse 2]
The first storm of spring time
A season so new
I will think of you
I will hope for you
The risk in your continents
The sun in your eyes
Well, I dream of you
My dreams are of you
If art is the question that made us look twice
At all that is building inside
What would you say?
[Outro]
Wish you were here, wish you were here
I wish you were here with me
Wish you were here, wish you were here
Wish you were here
See this moment
And me
Wish You Were Here was written by Msaki & Black Coffee.
Wish You Were Here was produced by Black Coffee.
Black Coffee released Wish You Were Here on Fri Dec 07 2018.
We lack songwriters in South Africa—we have so many singers, but we don’t have enough writers like Msaki, who is dangerous with the pen and how she uses English. This track makes me happy, you know? It has its own life.
