So Far Away Lyrics

Cover art for So Far Away lyrics by David Gilmour

Shouldn't it go "and I'm cut with my own knife"? I think this song is about the lost love, when the relationship between the two still exists but the love is gone and neither one has enough resolve to part with the other.

Yeah the lyrics are, "and I'm cut with my own knife." I think that that line means he's suffering because of his own foolish actions and thats why things aren't working with his love. The song talks how there can be a very distant relationship where you and someone are dating or married, but there just isn't any love anymore.
