I Wish You Were Here

Ohh

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skys 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 heros 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.
Oh I wish you were here

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skys from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

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
Oh I Wish you were here

How I wish how I wish you were here
How I wish how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls (How I wish how I wish you were here)
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground. (How I wish how I wish you were here)
What have we found?
The same old fears. (How I wish how I wish you were here)
