Lyrics David Gilmour

David Gilmour

So Far Away

What am I suspended here?

Should I kid myself that I have no fear?

I get no choice, I just have to wait

Ami

It may already be too late

I don't know what's going on

G Gsus4 F F-5 F F-5

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

Ami

When a warm coat is all I need

Her peace of mind, her strentgh of will

It will come she's sure it will

F F-5

And how can I put my mind at rest?

I feel I'm coming up second best

And I'm caught with my own life

Is this a dream, or is it real life?

Oooh sleep, come on me soon

I can't bear this lonely room

Look at that hand 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?

And I'm caught with my own life

Is this a dream, or is it real life?

Ooooh, sleep, come on me soon

I can't bear this lonely room

Sleep, come on me soon

I can't bear this lonely room

Sleep, don't take too long

Can't keep singing this lonely song
