Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm so afraid of the mistakes that I made
Quaking every time that I awake
I feel like a cardboard cutout man
So build me a time when the characters rhyme
And the storyline is kind
[Verse 2]
I've aged and aged since the first page
I've lived every line that you wrote
Take me down, take me down
From the shelf above your head
And build me a time when the characters rhyme
And the storyline is kind
[Verse 3]
I live where I am left on the shelf like the rest
And the epilogue reads like a sad song
Please, pick up your camera and use me again
And build me a time when the characters rhyme
And the storyline is kind
Yeah
Written by: David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Roger Waters
