LEARNING TO FLY - Pink Floyd
- - - () - - 2x
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 reel
-
A fatal attraction
Is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp
-
Can't keep my eyes 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 eve - rything
No navigator
To find my way home
-
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
-
A soul in tension
That's learning to fly
-
Condition grounded
g - a - c -
But de - termined to try
Can't keep my eyes from
The circling skies
-
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Break:
16 MEASURES
2 MEASURES
2 MEASURES
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
Com - pare with this
Sus - pended animation
g - a - c -
A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from
The circling skies
-
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
