Wish You Were Here
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters
Performer(s): Pink Floyd;
and various other artists



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 the cool breeze? 
Cold comfort for change? 
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
but have we found the same old fears? 
Wish you were here
