"Lost for Words" is a song recorded by English rock band Pink Floyd, focused on forgiveness, written by guitarist and lead singer David Gilmour and his spouse Polly Samson for the band's 14th studio album, The Division Bell. It appears as the penultimate track on the album. The lyrics, mostly penned by Samson, are a bitterly sarcastic reflection on Gilmour's then-strained relationship with former bandmate Roger Waters ^{[citation needed]}. The song was released to US rock radio the week of the album's release,[1] succeeding "Keep Talking", the previous promotional release, released the week before. The song reached #53 in the Canadian singles chart.[2]
