So, so 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 A walk-on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage...

Running over the same old ground, what have we found the same old fears?

Wish you were here

About this song: Wish You Were Here

"Wish You Were Here" is the title track on Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here. The song's lyrics encompass writer Roger Waters' feelings of alienation from other people. Like most of the album, it refers to former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett and his breakdown. The main riff came to David Gilmour while playing his acoustic guitar in Abbey Road Studios. Gilmour then demonstrated the riff to Waters, who was impressed.
