So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell

Blue skies from rainCan 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 the cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change

Did you exchange

A walk on part in a 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

Of how we found the same old tears

Wish you were here

Wish you were here

Wish you were here

Wish you were here

Wish you were
