What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever?
That is somewhat easy: Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here. It is the title track from first album I purchased. Have always loved it and even more in recent times.
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?And 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 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 you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Discover more from that needful sacrifice
