Wish You Were Here (Alternate Version)

[Spoken Intro: Nick Mason]

Could I have eggs, sausage, chips & beans and a tea?

[Acoustic Guitar Intro]

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]

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?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]

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 lead role in a cage?

[Violin Solo]

[Chorus: David Gilmour]

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

[Violin Outro]
