Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd

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 holding me fast, howCan 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 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

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, A state of bliss?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
