Wish You Were Here

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?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes with 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 role in a cage?

Ohh
Ahh
Ohh

How I wish, how I wish you were here (Ohh)
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year (Year after year)
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Wish you were here (Wish you were here)
Wish you were here (Wish you were here)
Wish you were here

The same old fears
Wish you were here
