PINK FLOYD Learning To Fly

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 is holding me fast, How can I escape this irresistible grasp Can t keep my eyes from the circling skies Tonguetied and twisted, just an earthbound 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 eyes from the circling skies Tonguetied and twisted just an earthbound 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,
