Wish You Were Here Lyrics – Bettye LaVette

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?
Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?

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

And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here
