Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from rain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
[Verse 2]
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for the cool breeze
Cold covered for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in a war
For a lead role in a cage?
[Verse 3]
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimmin' in a fishbowl
Year after year
Runnin' over the same old ground
Of how we found the same old tears
Wish you were here
Written by: David Gilmour, Roger Waters
