Song Lyric Sunday

https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2025/06/14/performing-showcase/

This week the theme is to find a song from a live album. 

I picked this song because it was one I was live at…not this same concert but just around the same year.

“Wish You Were Here”

And disciplinary remains mercifully
Yes and um, I’m with you Derek, this star nonsense
Yes, yes, now which is it?
I am sure of it

So, 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?
Do 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’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

  1. Wonderful choice Christine and I bet that was a great show getting to see Pink Floyd when they were at their peak. This song is widely relatable to anyone who has experienced missing someone, whether due to death, distance, or other forms of separation.  It can evoke a sense of melancholy and reflection, as it offers solace and understanding in the face of loss. Thanks for joining in again with your music.
