about

A song about the death of my father in 1998.

lyrics

I Wish
words and music by
john greene

i wish you could have been my friend
and i could have been yours,
we could have taught each other so much,
i wish we could have had the things
that people like us should
but our souls just never seemed to touch

and now the sand has all run out
and there’s nothing i can do
you know i never could talk to you,
this song is gonna be
my only chance to say good-bye
and tell you that i’ll miss you so much

i wish i could have been the one
you showered your love upon
i wish that you
could have been prouder of me,
but i had a different road
i had to travel on
and it took me places
where you couldn’t be

and now the sand has all run out
and there’s nothing i can do
you know i never could talk to you,
this song is gonna be
my only chance to say good-bye
and tell you that i’ll miss you so much
yeah tell you that i’ll miss you so much

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
