Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell, blue sky 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 living in a fish bowl
Year after year, going over the same old ground
What have you found, the same old fears
Wish you were here

Oh, wish you were here, oh, wish you were here
Oh, wish you were here, oh, wish you were here
