Short and Sweet

David Gilmour


-------------------------- 
(David Gilmour, R. Harper) 


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
