Floyd Pink Learning To Fly Lyrics

Learning To Fly Lyrics

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 I ESCAPE THIS IRRESISTIBLE GRASP?



CAN´T KEEP MY EYES FROM THE CIRCLING SKY

TONGUE-TIED AND TWISTED JUST AN EARTH-BOUND MISFIT



ICE IS FORMING ON THE TIPS OF MY WINGS

UNHEEDED WARNINGS

I THOUGHT I THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING

NO NAVIGATOR TO GUIDE MY WAY HOME

UNLADENED, EMPTY AND TURNED TO STONE



A SOUL INTENSION THAT´S LEARNING TO FLY

CONDITION GROUNDED BUT DETERMINED TO TRY



CANT KEEP MY EYES FROM THE CIRCLING SKIES

TONGUE-TIED AND TWISTED JUST AN EARTH-BOUND MISFIT



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 MIND FROM THE CIRCLING SKY

TONGUE-TIED AND TWISTED JUST AN EARTH-BOUND MISFIT
