Wish You Were Here Lyrics
[Spoken Intro]
[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
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?
[Verse 2: David Gilmour]
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 leading role in a cage?
[Verse 3: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
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
[Scat-singing]
