wish you were here
So, so you think you can tell?
Heaven from hell? Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail
A smile from a vail?
Do you think you can tell.
And did they get you to trade?
Your heroes for ghosts. Hot ashes for trees.
And hot air for a cool breeze.
Cold comfort for change. And did you exchange
A 'walk on part in the war', for a lead role in the cage.
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
Were 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.
Heaven from hell? Blue skys from pain.

And hot air for a cool breeze.
Cold comfort for change. And did you exchange
