Wish You Were Here Lyrics

So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell
Blue skies from rain 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 heroes 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 role 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 you found? The same old fears

Wish you were here
