Poles Apart - Pink Floyd

Album: The Division Bell

genre: Progressive Rock

Did you know
It was all going to go so wrong for you
And did you see
It was all going to be so right for me
Why did we tell you then
You were always the golden boy then
And that you’d never lose that light in your eyes

Hey you
Did you ever realize what you’d become
And did you see
That it wasn’t only me you were running from
Did you know all the time but it never bothered you anyway
Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes

The rain fell slow
Down on all the roofs of uncertainty
I thought of you
And the years and all the sadness fell away from me
And did you know
(Did you know)
I never thought that you’d lose that light in your eyes
