Wish You Were Here

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 you found?

The same old fears



Wish you were here
