(David Gilmour)





What am I suspended here?

Should I kid myself that I have no fear?

I get no choice, I just have to wait

It may already be too late

I don't know what's going on

She is here, but I am gone, I am gone



My love is lying here

She's far away though she looks so near

``Time will tell,'' she says to me

When a warm ?...? is all I need

Her peace of mind, her strength of will

It will come, she's sure it will

But how can I put my mind at rest?

I feel I'm coming off second best



And I'm cut with my own life

Is this a dream or is it real life?

Oh, sleep, come on me soon

I can't bear this lonely room



Look at that hair lying there

The room is dark, she shows no fear

I'm lying still, my eyes are wide

My heart is pumping, I'm still alive

I'm still awake against my will

What will it ever take to still this burning in me?
