PINK FLOYD lyrics : "Learning To Fly"

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I


Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try


Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night


There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
