David Gilmour - Short and Sweet lyrics
[David Gilmour - 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 won't to try to make it be
We're caught watching the dark in the sky
Who knows, helpless as time it'self 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
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 won't to try to make it be
We're caught watching the dark in the sky
Who knows, helpless as time it'self 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
