DON'T WISH YOU WERE HERE. A RESPONSE

NO, I don't think I can tell heaven from hell

or blue skies from pain

I can't tell a green field from a cold steel rail

or a smile from a veil

I don' think I can tell...

And they didn't get me to trade my heroes for ghosts

or hot ashes for trees

and hot air for a cool breeze 

or cold comfort for change

I DIDN'T EXCHANGE

a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage...

I DON'T WISH

I don't wish you were here

I'm not a lost soul like you swimmin' in a fish bowl

year after year

not runnin' over the same old ground

we don't find the same old fears

JUST DON'T WISH YOU  WERE HERE...
