Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Artist: Pink Floyd
Album: Wish You Were Here

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 heros 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 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.

by jezebelk912 on 6/7/2008 11:39am this is my absolute favorite song. when i was 15 i had a folder in school and drew a fish bowl with 2 fish and underneath it said " we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl" and i am now 32 and when the song comes on i still get goose bumps and i cry b/c it pretty much sums up my life.
