Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly (Official Video With Lyrics)

Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly Album: A Momentary Lapse Of Reason '1987, Echoes: The Best Of Pink Floyd '2001 Lyrics: 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 sky 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 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 Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I Friction lock Set Mixture is rich Propellers Strobes on Confirm 3-8 Echo ready for departure Hello again, this is now 129.4 129.4, stick up (stick it up, more likely) You make commence your take-off, winds over 10 knots Ready to action. Easy on the brakes. Take it easy, it's gonna roll this time Just hand the power gradually, and it... 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, I written by David Gilmour, Anthony Moore, Bob Ezrin
