LEARNING TO FLY

Lyrics - David Gilmour / Anthony Moore

Music - David Gilmour / Jon Carin
Bob Ezrin

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a wind swept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast
how can escape this irresistable grasp?

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

Ice if forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigation to guide 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
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
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 mind from the circling sky
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit
I
