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?
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 a 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

A beautiful song... It was my parents wedding song and my dads close friends funeral song. I think this will be my wedding song. I love it

Like many lyrics Roger Waters wrote during the prime years of Pink Floyd this song points to a spiritual truth. How I wish ... How I wish he stayed in tune with that.

Beautiful song. Even more poignant when I think of Syd Barrett, for whom it was written.

Pink Floyd's best...probably my favorite lyrics of any song I've ever heard.

Truly the greatest of all lyrical masterpieces. A message as much as a song. One that will never be butchered with a remake. (I hope)
