Текст песни Pink Floyd - How Wish You Were Here

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
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here ...

"What a pity you are not here."

So you think you will not confuse
Hell with Paradise?
Heaven with pain?
Do you distinguish green grass
From the lead gray of the rain?
Smile from the mask?
Do you think you can tell?

Are you really convinced to replace
Your heroes ghosts?
Burning coals trees?
Heat a cool breeze?
The vulgar comfort of thirst for change?
Have you really changed
Warpath
On the role of a leader in a cell?

As I wish, as I wish,
so that you are here.

We are just two lost souls
Floundering in a dirty puddle
Year after year.
We run in a circle.
What have we gained?
Only our old fears.
How I want you to be here ...
