Roger Waters Lyrics

Wish You Were Here Lyrics

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 heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

And 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

Swimmin' in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

And I wish that you were here

Oh, how I wish you were here

How I wish

How I wish you were here

Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

And I wish that you were here

"Thank you. I wish they were here."
