Wish You Were Here lyrics

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell, blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field from a cold steel A smile from a veil Do you think you can tell And did they get you to trade heroes for ghosts Hot ashes for trees Hot air for cool breeze Cold comfort for change And did you exchange a walk on the part in the war For a lead 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 fears Wish you were here
