Numb

Lyrcs that have been going through my head a lot lately.  I highlighted the specific words.

Comfortably Numb
by Pink Floyd

Hello?

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.  Is there anyone home?
Come on, Come on, Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.  Well, I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.  Relax.
I'll need some information first.  Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a FEVER My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand.  This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.
(solo)
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
but I have become comfortably numb.

Perfectly Numb
by Popium
 
These troubled days just go on, on and on

I'm losing sleep and I sink like a stone
Wanna call the Maker on the phone
Ask him where the magic has all gone
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky
And I'm leaving for good
Oh, this time I am leaving for good
This time is the right time, I'd stay if I could
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
These troubled days just go on, on and on
Seems like a waste just to try to be strong
All this melancholy wears me down
A sentimental breakdown is coming around
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
See the cannonball fly through the hole in the sky
And I'm leaving for good
Oh, this time I am leaving for good
This time is the right time, I'd stay if I could
And the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
Yeah, the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb
Oh, the sound of the drum leaves me perfectly numb

I absolutely LOVE that song by Pink Floyd - I have to admit, I didn't really know all the lyrics, but just the tone of the song, I love!

Big hugs to you hon! the troubled days will go on, but you are strong, you are a woman and you will get through!
