                                   -----------

  Some of these lyrics are undoubtedly incorrect, but it's extremely difficult
 to figure out what is being sang during certain parts of the song, most likely
    due to the low quality of the recording.  I am using lyrics I've found on
 various websites, but if you have a more correct interpretation of them please
                                 send them to me.

A       Gm7              A
________Wishing you were real,
   Gm7              A
So I could wish you mine.
Gm7              A
Wishing you were real,
           Gm7         B
I cling to all that is divine.

  Am7                 B
A woman lies with the dewdrops,
    Am7                 G
Her courage with the stars.
Cadd11           G
Wishing you were real,
           Cadd11  Cadd11
So I could spy you from afar.

A              Gm7          A
Aimed at her myths of horseflies,
    Gm7
And spider eyes.
A           Gm7            A
Spun to her gilded webs of hope,
    Gm7       B
And mercy crimes.

Am7              B
Wishing you were real,
   Am7              G
So I could wish you mine.
Cadd11           G
Wishing you were real,
           Cadd11   Cadd11
I cling to all that is divine.

________We'll take our secrets to the grave,
Cadd11          A
Safely held beneath the thoughts.
    Gm7              A
The secrets will be lost
             Gm7     B
While I'm forever not.

Am7                  B
I'm wishing you were real,
   Am7               G
My face is blistered true.
Cadd11           G
Wishing you were real,
                Cadd11 Cadd11
So that I could always wish for you.
