Lyrics Wish You Were Here - Rik Emmett, Joe Satriani, Edgar Froese

Wish You Were Here

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?
And did they get you to trade
your heroes 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.
