I 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?

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 we found?

The same old fears

Oh, I 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?)

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What we found?

The same old fears

Oh, I wish you were here

(How I wish, how I wish you were here)

(How I wish, how I wish you were here)

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl

(How I wish, how I wish you were here)

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

(How I wish, how I wish you were here)

What we found?

The same old fears

(How I wish, how I wish you were here)
