Song lyrics So far away by David Gilmour

What am I suspended here?
Should I kid myself that I have no fear?
I get no choice, I just have to wait
It may already be too late
I don´t know what´s going on
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
When a warm coat is all I need
Her peace of mind, her strentgh of will
It will come she´s sure it will
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
