Wish You Were Here

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?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbow
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here....


Ela é freqüentemente executada num sentido errôneo em relação ao significado original. Mas para mim é exatamente o que foi feita para ser.
