Gilmour David Short And Sweet Lyrics

Short And Sweet Lyrics

You ask what is the quality of life? 

Seeking to justify the part you play 

And hide, fearing it incomplete, to try 

To make it any more or less than short and sweet

 

But short, short is from you to me, as close 

As we are wont to try to make it be 

We're caught watching the dark in the sky, who knows? 

Helpless as time itself to hold the time of day

 

And you, you are a fantasy, a view 

>From where you'd like to think the world should see 

Be true and you will likely find a few 

Building a vision new and justice to our time

 

And we, we, the immoral men, we dare 

Naked and fearless in the elements 

And free, carefree of tempting fate, aware 

And holding off the moral nightmare at the gates

 

And sweet, sweet as a mountain stream, we'll look 

Toward a new day breaking in the east 

We'll meet as every future dream unfolds 

And surely quality that is the very least
