Wish You Were Here

Yes and um, I’m with you, Derek, this star nonsense

Yes, yes

Now which is it?

I am sure of it

♪ instrumental ♪

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?

Did you exchange

A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

♪ instrumental ♪

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year

Running over the same old ground, what have we found?

The same old fears

Wish you were here
