Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here lyrics 

Song Description

The song of Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here takes the same name of its album. This great song has some dedication towards their founding band member and great friend, Syd Barrett. This is one of the band's favourite songs and loved by many fans including me. The song's lyrics express the band's feelings of alienation from each other, and their own selves. This is one song that you feel you always need to sing along to. The great intellectual lyrics written by Roger along with the soothing acoustic guitar riffs played by Gilmour go together so beautifully and not to mention Gilmour's soothing voice. Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here is such a great song that you simply cannot miss out on listening to.

 

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here lyrics

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