Pink Floyd - Sorrow lyrics

The sweet smell of a great
Sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge
Into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of
Green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning with
No reason for waking
He’s haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can’t be precise
He’s chained forever to a
World that’s departed
It’s not enough, it’s not enough

His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
His knees have trembled and given
Way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered

One world, one soul
Time pass, the river roll

And he talks to the river
Of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There’s an unceasing wind that
Blows through this night
And there’s dust in my eyes
That blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so
Much louder than words of promises broken
