    Lyrics:
    Did I fail you some way
    That you’re not telling now?
    Did I fail you some way
    Somewhere, somehow?
    When you took that last step
    Beyond the door
    I can’t follow you there
    I can’t follow for sure
    It’s a road that you take
    All on your own
    One you don’t come back from
    And there’s no place like home
    I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I’m out on my own
    I’m so far from home
    And I wish you were here
    Are you watching me now?
    All alone in this place
    Are you seeing me cry?
    Oh, how I miss your face
    And the warmth of your smile
    The light in your eyes
    There was no “fare thee well”
    And there was no “goodbye”
    And I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I’m out on my own
    I’m so far from home
    And I wish you were here
    When I’m looking back
    On the time that we shared
    Hope you know you were loved
    And that I always cared
    I always cared...
    I know in my heart
    That we’ll meet again
    I know deep inside
    This isn’t the end
    And I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I’m out on my own
    And I wish you were here
    Oh, I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I’m out on my own
    I’m so far from home
    And I wish you were here

    My son passed away suddenly on dec 16th and one of his friends we haven’t seen in years sent us the link to this song. When we listened to it we all cried and we played it at the beginning of his service at the funeral home. It was perfect. Thank you for a beautiful song. Julie, Todd, Jennifer,Matthew

    I am German and an absolute fan of the Murphys.
    I lost three good mates in 2018, my dad, my brother and a good friend. I can't remember the last time I had tears in my eyes, not even at the funerals.
    Today I heard the song for the first time and it all came back to me making me cry like a bloody damn little child.

I think she forgot my son's name, but I'm glad she met him, as she is the only one of my grandparents he met.

I lost my mom at 11 and although the rest of my childhood was less than perfect, my father did his best too and I turned out alright. He used one phrase of advice constantly, and that was for us to let our conscience be our guide. Best advice ever and I tell my boys the same.

    God bless us all that loss has hit like this. I listen to it for my Wife. We found the cancer when she was 28. She didn’t see 30. I’m grateful for the time I had. This song really hits hard though. Her mother died about the same age from the same cancer. I swear it was that damn house. It was on an old tannery/chemical site in Jersey. I’m a construction engineer and I found asbestos and worse EVERYWHERE. I only mention it because had I met her a few years sooner or had made her go to the doctors she hated (pure blood Irish) you know how they are. Lol. Maybe things could have been different. Idk all the things you think of too late, Ya know? Anyway she loved this band. Anytime I need a good cry and a smile I find myself here. I won’t keep the album in the house. But every now and then I need it. I love you Kate, don’t torture the angels 😉 and keep my spot warm. ❤️💖 s.y.s.

    A week ago I lost my cat Peanut after 16 years. I raised her from a kitten, taught her everything. She was with me through basically the entire part of my life that actually counted for anything. Every place I ever lived after college, every relationship, both marriages and divorces, every major friendship and falling out I've ever had in my entire life. I just brought her home, I can't get this song out of my head.

    Around 3 years ago I was at my lowest I have ever been. I wanted out. But in a funny twist of fate, my son who has aspergers and is non emotional, and never in his 8 years given me a hug. He suddenly ran up to me and hugged me as I came home from work......... it's the only time he has shown emotion to me.
    I wish that hug was daily, but it's not to be. And I wish he was here and not in his world of autism.
    It was that hug that had me in tears and possibly saved my life.
    Although life seemed traumatic, one good deed saved me. Never give up never surrender ✊🏻

    Did I fail you some way
    That you're not telling now?
    Did I fail you some way
    Somewhere, somehow?
    When you took that last step
    Beyond the door
    I can't follow you there
    I can't follow for sure
    It's a road that you take
    All on your own
    One you don't come back from
    And there's no place like home
    I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I'm out on my own
    I'm so far from home
    And I wish you were here
    Are you watching me now
    All alone in this place?
    Are you seeing me cry
    Oh, how I miss your face?
    And the warmth of your smile
    The light in your eyes
    There was no fare thee well
    And there was no goodbye
    And I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I'm out on my own
    I'm so far from home
    And I wish you were here
    When I'm looking back
    On the time that we shared
    Oh, we know you were loved
    And that I always cared
    I always cared
    I know in my heart
    That we'll meet again
    I know deep inside
    This isn't the end
    And I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I'm out on my own
    And I wish you were here
    Oh, I wish you were here
    How I wish you were here
    I'm out on my own

The loneliness, (I don’t mean being “around” people) ya know? The REAL loneliness, when the lights go out at night and everything’s quiet. Having the one that knew you (and not “you”) I mean YOU all of it. (I think you understand what I’m trying to say it’s hard to word it). Missing that though is the loneliest feeling in the world.

    This time of year is really hard on me, ever since my Grammie and Grampie passed (March 2012 and January 2015). Thought about them the entire time this song played. I miss them more than words can say. This song puts a lot of those emotions into words I couldn't form.

    As a 42 year old man who moved across the country to carve his own way 20 plus years ago......this resonates.....epically around the holidays. Thank you!!

    I usually have DKM playing when I am hitting the bag( boxing) in my garage, one minute I am going the body of the bag Shipping up to Boston ..the next minute” I wish you were here” plays and tears are running down my face missing my ma, dad and nana . No one does it like the Drop Kick Murphys this is real people music. Love from Australia 🇳🇿🇮🇹

    Saw you guys in Sandy on Saturday 10-2 and heard this song for the first time live, it hit so hard. Coming up on 4 years since my late husband passed, we struggle this time of year hard. I appreciate this song and getting to see/hear it played live when I did.
    Also, best show I have ever been to.

    For God sake, this song make me cry. For all those that cannot be with their beloved folks, either due to distance or due to their losses. That song reminds us how much we love them... So until the next time
    It's farewell and not goodbye. Thanks for this song lads

    This song hits hard every time I listen to it. The pain of losing a loved one never goes away. We just learn how to carry it. Miss you Mom, Gram and Pap. It still hurt but I know all of your suffering is over and you are in a better place. Love you all and miss you

    Just had a good cry. Thinking of all my family I've lost over the years. Lost my dog this year. But I'm grateful for whom I still have... Especially for my Mom who's had a rough year health wise. Merry Christmas DKM!

    My little sister got me into Murphys when we we teens. We lost her last year. Then i found this song. It just makes me feel so happy and so sad at the same time. I just miss you and wish you were here, Jenn, so much.
