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?

Smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

Did they get to the trade

Your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for the cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change

And did you exchange?

A walk on part in the war

For a leed role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We are 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 fear

Wish you were here
