Wish You Were Here

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 have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
