Pete Townshend – In the Ether

In the Ether

In the ether, I hang suspended
I wait for you, and I know you're near
And this high heaven, my world's appended
I feel raw passion, I feel no fear

I'm dizzy with love but you never appear
In the gloom of this room, of this cell down here

And oh, this place isn't truly real
And that locked my love, it expands and sprays
The light will find me, bend to warn me
You are my root to the billion days

I'm drunk with you and I can't explain
Who or where I am, oh, how I'm in pain

Rocking, rocking me, rhythm is shocking me
Just like a child in your fist, you are knocking me
Rocking and rocking, oh, autistic caged
I am rocking and rocking and rocking and wretched

I'm drunk with you and I can't explain
Who or where I am, oh, how I'm in pain

In the ether, in the ether

In the ether, I wait for you
Hanging in this mist that I know isn't real
There is nothing there, there's no you, no me
Even love, it's crazy, I still appeal

This is heavenly hell, I appear insane
I have no idea who there is to blame
