Catherine Wheel "Wish You Were Here" Listen | Buy |
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 walk on part in the war
For a lead role in the cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Living in a fish bowl
Year after year
Going over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Oh, I wish you were here
Highwaygirl, you definitely should listen to the original. This version is quite nice, but definitely not what I see in the original.
By the way, wish you were here is from the Album wish you were here. Dark side is the album with the classics Money and Time. It's probably not Pink Floyd's best, but not without reason was it amongst the world top LP sellers for about twenty years.
