Lyrics of Wish You Were Here - Live by Pink Floyd

verse

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?

verse

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?

verse

Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

verse

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year

verse

Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Writer(s): David Gilmour, Roger Waters
