Wish you were here

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
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 walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage
how i wish, how i wish you were here
we are just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
month after month
running over the same old ground
what have we found the same old fears
wish you were here....


Snow
only tell me that you still want me here
when you wander off out there
to those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
in that dry white ocean alone
lost out in the desert
but to stand with you in a ring of fire
i will forget the days gone by
i will protect your body and guard your soul
from mirages in your sight

lost out in the desert
if your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
i will be the moon that shines in your path
the sun may blind your eyes, i will pray the skies above
for snow to fall on the sahara
if thats the only place where you can leave your doubts
i will hold you up and be your way out
and if we burn away, i will pray the skies above
for snow to fall on the sahara
just a wish and i will cover your shoulders
with veils of silk and gold
when the shadows come and darken your heart
leaving you with regret so cold...
