Wish You Were Here

Just sitting around on a Sunday afternoon, after a going on a brisk (ha ha!) walk in below zero temps (it warmed up to about 15 below). The hot water had been frozen (that's an oxymoron). When we got back from the walk, it had unthawed, so I was able to take a shower. I feel so much better! And I smell so much better! Anyway, just listening to some music, and this Pink Floyd song was playing. It is one my absolute favorites by them, and probably one of my all time favorites, period. I wanted to share the lyrics with you.

Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour) 5:17

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys 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 heros 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 we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
