Wish You Were Here

So you think, 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?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

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

I wish you were here

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

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

Oh I wish you were here

I wish you were here
