The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough

His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered

One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls

It's not enough it's not enough
His hand has faltered
.... .... ......

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken

- Sorrow [Pink floyd]

There is a special purpose for posting the lyrics. This is the song that has inspired me most for the past 3-4 months. It has made me believe that I'm not the only one. There are thousands of people like me, who are suffering from the same dilemma. And then only a few days back, I listened to the "pulse" version of the same song and experienced that how some simple changes can transform a song into a totally different one.However, what I'm trying to say is that, I'm really grateful to Pink Floyd for this song. Long live....!!!
