Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd cover) Lyrics
So, so you think you can tell,
Heaven from hell,
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field,
From a cold still rail,
A Smile froma 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,
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in 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 you found?
The Same old fears.
Wish you we're here.
Heaven from hell,
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field,
From a cold still rail,
A Smile froma 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,
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in 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 you found?
The Same old fears.
Wish you we're here.
Amazing cover, although the lyrics on this page are off... they do the "how I wish" segment twice. The electric cellos add a nice touch. Not the original, of course, but still very good.
I totally agree with you "Black", this is one of the best covers I've ever heard, and though I'm a little afraid to say it, I actually like this version better than the original. The cello's beautiful haunting quality puts a new spin on this song
nothing can ever be as good as the pink floyd version, of course, but this cover is amazing
amazing cover!!
I love this cover better than Pink Floyd's. It's sadder. More aching. Perfect for a long distance relationship.
