I remember reading the lyrics in the Mirage CD booklet of Gypsy and thinking "when do they sing 'she was just a wish' at the end". I even played it a few times to see if it was there way in the background. It wasn't until the version on The Chain, after I had completely forgotten reading it, that I heard it and thought "Oh my God, it really is there, it was just cut out!!!"
