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

Thank you for listing the information and credits in the description. The cello adds so much to my favorite song.

Con este temazo me inicie y me introduje. En el " mundo" Floyd. Allá x el 1988. Con 21 años. Hoy con 52 años. No hay un día de mi existir. No escuchar, no ver, o simplemente pensar en su música. Gracias totales!!!
