Eric Clapton - Wish You Were Here lyrics

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell Blue skys from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? And hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And 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 Swimmin’ in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears And I wish that you were here Oh, how I wish you were here How I wish How I wish you were here Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears And I wish that you were here
