Lyrics

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 for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change, did you exchange
A walk on part in the war for a leading role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
