Pink Floyd : Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Songwriters: Waters, Roger; Gilmour, David Jon;
. Send "Wish You Were Here" Ringtone to your Cell .
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

    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.

    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)
