Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Pink Floyd

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

Green is a colour

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)
