Wish you were here

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

So 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

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

(R.W.)
