PINK FLOYD


Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Songwriters: Waters, Roger; Gilmour, David Jon;

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 fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

It's sad that most people nowadays have never heard this song and felt its power as oppose to the crappy rap that they believe is the best thing since lifes bread..

How to cope with the world by withdrawing physically, mentally, or emotionally. Roger Waters states that the inspiration was Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett and his ordeal with schizophrenia.

This song is the best! Reminds me of the days when I dressed up as a clown and everyone was so happy!

Wish you were here is one of Floyds greatest masterpieces. A simple yet powerful piece. this and 'Time' are my favourite Floyd tracks.

I love every single one of Floyds songs but this one I think just takes the lead. Want it to be my first dance at my wedding

I love this song. It is so beautiful and the lyrics make me feel extremely depressed and meloncholy inside. I don't know, but it is beautifully written.
