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 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 we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.
