Letra:

Learning To Fly.

(Gilmour/Moore/Ezrin/Carin)

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction holding me fast, how

Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to guide my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Friction lock - set. 

Mixture - rich 

Propellers - fully forward 

Flaps - set - 10 degrees 

Engine gauges and suction - check 

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck

Flight instruments...

Altimeters - check both

(garbled word) - on

Navigation lights - on

Strobes - on

(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure

(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4

(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.

(tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.

(to tower): 3-8-Echo

Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.

Just hand the power gradually, and it... 

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened 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

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I.
