Wish You Were Here
(Roger Waters/David Gilmour)
Transcription taken from the "Wish You Were Here" album liner notes |
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.
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.
