Notice the similarity to "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon.
'Why can't we reach the sun
why can't we flow the years away
flow away
remember a day... '
'So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines'
@Gasketfuse I have to comment on this I think this particular song more than any other by Floyd sounds like a Syd Barrett composition. Reminds me of early early Floyd like see Emily play or Arnold layne, just has that feel. I love Floyd but with the departure of Syd one has to admit that Floyd became more serious and somewhat more depressed really lyrically, Syd was playful and used imagery and nursery rhymes for the love of god! this song captures that playfulness that seemed to depart from the Floyd with Syd's departure. Just my opinion

@Gasketfuse Nope - wrong word. Blow the years away.

@lawrenceok once again, this doesn't mean he is wrong. He merely misheard a lyric.
