short and sweet

• david gilmour'un david gilmour adlı albümünün 5. şarkısı
  
  sözler:
  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

  sözlerini yazmazsam rahat edemem:
  
  there are miles between us
  time between us
  there is something between us
  i may be a fool to dream of you
  but, god, it feels so good to dream at all
  something short and sweet
  there's always a light over my head for you
  i am waiting, i am waiting
  time will always try to kill me
  
  there are mountains between us
  there is time between us
  oh, ain't there something between us?
  something short and sweet
  
  i don't care if i should
  do you wanna hurt me?
  'cause i've been hurtin' all alone
  it didn't kill me, no
  but it wasn't no fun
  come and get you some
  just the beginning
  i only want the beginning
  we'll give each other all of our best
  and then, time can do what it wants with it
  
  there are mountains between us
  there is time between us
  oh, ain't there something between us?
  something short and sweet
  
  so, why can't i wait?
  why can't i wait?
  why can't ı think?
  why can't i wake without you always appearing?
  oh, i better not wait too long
  'cause time is gonna kill it
  time is gonna kill it.
