Wish You Were Here Lyrics - Sparklehorse

So, so you think you can tell 

Heaven from hell 

Blue skies from rain 

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 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
