Learning To Fly

Pink Floyd

Into the distance, a ribbon (stuha, pásek) of black
Stretched (natažený, protáhnutý) to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept (větrem čechraný, rozcuchaný) field
Standing alone my senses reeled (potácející se)
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible (neodolatelný) grasp (stisk, dotek)?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit (nepřizpůsobivý člověk), I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded (ignorované) warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension (v napětí) that's learning to fly
Condition grounded (uzemněné, upevněné) but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby (ušmudlané) halo, a vapour trail (pachová stopa) in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened (přetržený) by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss (blaho)
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
