Wish You Were Here

Oh, how I wish you were here.

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

And now, I’m running over that same old ground

What have I found? The same old fears

Oh, how 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?

Did they get you to trade all 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?

Oh, how I wish you were here.

You were just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year

And now, I’m running over the same old ground

What have I found? The same old fears

Sure do wish you were here

Sure do wish you were here

God, I wish you were here
