Wish You Were Here Songtext
von Tangerine Dream

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 wail?
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 the cage?


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 I've found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We are two lost souls
Swimming in a fishbowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What I′ve found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We are two lost souls
Swimming in a fishbowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What I've found
The same old fears
Wish you were here
