Lyrics

[Intro] "And disciplinary remains mercifully" "Yes and um, I'm with you, Derek, this star nonsense" "Yes, yes" "Now which is it?" "I am sure of it" [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1: David Gilmour] 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? [Verse 2: David Gilmour] 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? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: David Gilmour] How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year Running over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here [Instrumental Outro]
