Artist: Pink Floyd
Track: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Lyrics
Ooh ooh ooh ooh walk with me, Sydney
I’d love to, love to, love to, baby you know
Ooh ooh ooh ooh walk with me, Sydney
I’d love to, love to, love to, love to
Love to
Walk with me, Sydney, it’s a dark night
Come on, come on, hold me tight
Well, I’d love to, love to, love to
Flat feet, fallen arches
Baggy knees and a broken frame
Meningitis, peritonitis
DTs and a washed-out brain
Ooh ooh ooh ooh roll with me, Sydney
I’d love to, love to, love to, baby you know
Ooh ooh ooh ooh roll with me, Sydney
I’d love to, love to, love to, love to
Love to
Roll with me, Sydney, it’s a dark night
Roll me, roll me, roll me high
Well, I’d love to, love to, love to
But I got
Flat feet, fallen arches
Baggy knees and a broken frame
Meningitis, peritonitis
DTs and a washed-out brain
Ooh ooh ooh ooh walk with me, Sydney
I’d love to, love to, love to, baby you know
Ooh ooh ooh ooh walk with me, Sydney
I’d love to, love to, love to, love to
Love to
Walk with me, Sydney, it’s a dark night
Come on, come on, and hold me tight
Well, I’d love to, love to, love to
But I got
Flat feet, fallen arches
Baggy knees and a broken frame
Meningitis, peritonitis
DTs and a washed-out brain
