Richard Wright

Richard William Wright (28 July 1943 – 15 September 2008) was an English pianist, keyboardist and singer-songwriter, best known for his career with Pink Floyd. Wright's richly textured keyboard layers were a vital ingredient and a distinctive characteristic of Pink Floyd's sound. Wright frequently sang background and occasionally lead vocals on stage and in the studio with Pink Floyd (most notably on the songs "Time", "Echoes", "Wearing the Inside Out", "Astronomy Domine" and "Matilda Mother"). more »

I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child 
I lay in the dark 'til morning came. 
It's so unoriginal 
And I feel it worse at night 
I know it's not terminal 
But I'm near half-dead fright 
And freezing cold. 

But sooner than woke up 
To find it all unchanged 
I'll sleep through the day til the daylight ends. 
'Cause it's all so familiar 
As it comes around again 
The same taste to everything 
The same unbroken chain 
That still remains. 

With morning I rise, 
A dream that won't leave me, 
You're sad, naked and pale 

And you're reaching for the rail 

You took a look inside, how could you peel away 
Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well 
For all your days. 

And you're going down 
As you slip beneath the waves, 
Won't make a sound 
Won't even leave a trace before you. 

I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below 
And it's creeping fear congealed in stone 
That paves the crazy road. 
And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly 
At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with, 
Just take these and you'll really never feel it.
