Floyd Pink - 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
