Wish You Were Here

by Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain

Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil

Do you think you can tell
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts

Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change

And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage


How I wish
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year

Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here
