Lyrics

Wish You Were Here (Gilmour/Waters)

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 hero’s 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 roll 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
Wish you were here
