Short And Sweet Lyrics - David Gilmour

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
