Album: 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?

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 the war
For a lead role in the cage

How I wish, how I Wish You Were Here
Weґre 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

Is it a legend that the song addresses to Syd Barrett? or does it, in fact? because it sounds like if it was addressed to somebody who is alive... ..does anybody here feel it applies to him? ...sorry..

Roger Waters.

I think it's the best English song that has ever come into being!
