We asked him to smile for a photograph Waited a while to see if we could Make him laugh
A soldier asked for a cigarette His smiling face I can't forget He looked like you across the street But that's a long way here
And I wish you were here
And I wish you were here
Stranger
A stranger in a strange land
He look at me like I Was the one who should run
I watched as he watched us Get back on the bus I watched the way it was
The way it was when he was with us
And I really don't mind Sleeping on the floor But I couldn't sleep after what I saw I wrote this letter to tell you The way I feel
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here
