BETTYE LAVETTE

- Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Oh, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year
And now I'm running over that same old ground
What have I found
The same old fears
Oh, how I wish you were here

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
All your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
And cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

Oh, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year,
And now I'm running over the same old ground
What have I found
The same old fears
Sure to wish you were here
Sure to wish you were here
God, I wish you were here
