short and sweet
Singer: david gilmour
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 wont to try to make it be
we're caught watching the dark in the sky
who knows
helpless as time itself 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
