David Gilmour - On An Island
Remember that night
White steps in the moonlight
They walked here too
Through empty playground,
this ghosts' town
Children again, on rusting swings getting higher
Sharing a dream, on an island, it felt right
White steps in the moonlight
They walked here too
Through empty playground,
this ghosts' town
Children again, on rusting swings getting higher
Sharing a dream, on an island, it felt right
We lay side by side
Between the moon and the tide
Mapping the stars for a while
Between the moon and the tide
Mapping the stars for a while
Let the night surround you
We're halfway to the stars
Ebb and flow
Let it go
Feel her warmth beside you
We're halfway to the stars
Ebb and flow
Let it go
Feel her warmth beside you
Remember that night
The warmth and the laughter
Candles burned
Though the church was deserted
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Dreamers may leave, but they're here ever after
The warmth and the laughter
Candles burned
Though the church was deserted
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Dreamers may leave, but they're here ever after
Let the night surround you
We're halfway to the stars
Ebb and flow
Let it go
Feel her warmth beside you
The Blue
We're halfway to the stars
Ebb and flow
Let it go
Feel her warmth beside you
The Blue
Shameless sea
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight-moon shines for you
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight-moon shines for you
Still, marooned
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
Just blue...
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
Just blue...
Ceaselessly
Star-crossed you and me
Save our souls
We'll be forever blue
Star-crossed you and me
Save our souls
We'll be forever blue
Waves roll
Lift us in blue
Drift us
Seep right through
And colour us blue
Lift us in blue
Drift us
Seep right through
And colour us blue
Wait for me
Shameless you, the sea
Soon, the Blue
So soon...
Shameless you, the sea
Soon, the Blue
So soon...
Take A Breath
Take a breath
Take a deep breath now
Take a breath
A deep breath now
Take a breath
Take a deep breath now
Take a breath
A deep breath now
Take a breath
When you're down is where you find yourself
When you drown there's nothing else
If you're lost you'll need to turn yourself
Then you'll find out that there's no-one else
When you drown there's nothing else
If you're lost you'll need to turn yourself
Then you'll find out that there's no-one else
To make the moves that you can do
When you fall from grace your eyes in blue
Your every breath becomes another world
And the far horison's living hell
When you fall from grace your eyes in blue
Your every breath becomes another world
And the far horison's living hell
Take a breath
A deep breath now
A deep breath now
This kind of love is hard to find
I never got to you by being kind
If I'm the one to throw you overboard
At least I showed you how to swim for shore
I never got to you by being kind
If I'm the one to throw you overboard
At least I showed you how to swim for shore
When you're down is where you find yourself
When you drown there's nothing else
If you're lost you'll need to turn yourself
Then you'll find out that there's no-on else
When you drown there's nothing else
If you're lost you'll need to turn yourself
Then you'll find out that there's no-on else

All the pieces fall into place
When we walk these fields
And I reach out and touch your face
This earthly heaven is enough for me
When we walk these fields
And I reach out and touch your face
This earthly heaven is enough for me
So break the bread and pour the wine
I need no blessings but I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money buys
When I see the faith in my children's eyes
I need no blessings but I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money buys
When I see the faith in my children's eyes
I've felt the power in a holy place
Wished for comfort when in need
Now I'm here in a state of grace
This earthly heaven is enough for me
Wished for comfort when in need
Now I'm here in a state of grace
This earthly heaven is enough for me
So break the bread and pour the wine
I need no blessings but I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money buys
When I see the faith in my children's eyes
I need no blessings but I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money buys
When I see the faith in my children's eyes
Then I Close My Eyes
(instrumental)
Smile
Would this do to make it all right
While sleep has taken you where I'm out of sight
While sleep has taken you where I'm out of sight
I'll make my getaway
Time on my own
Search for a better way
To find my way home to your smile
Time on my own
Search for a better way
To find my way home to your smile
Wasting days and days on this fight
Always down, and up half the night
Hopeless to reminisce through the dark hours
We'll only sacrifice what time will allow us
You're sighting...
Always down, and up half the night
Hopeless to reminisce through the dark hours
We'll only sacrifice what time will allow us
You're sighting...
All alone though you're right here
Now it's time to go from your sad stare
Now it's time to go from your sad stare
I'll make my getaway
Time on my own
Search for a better way
To find my way home to your smile
A Pocketful Of Stones
Time on my own
Search for a better way
To find my way home to your smile
A Pocketful Of Stones
He's sending stones skimming and flying
Circles spinning out his time
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
Chances are this spark's a lifetime
Circles spinning out his time
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
Chances are this spark's a lifetime
Out of touch he'll live in wonder
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end
Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow
Says he doesn't care who's saved
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
And he's not guilty or afraid
Says he doesn't care who's saved
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
And he's not guilty or afraid
One day he'll slip away
Cool water flowing all around
In the river and on the ground
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives
Cool water flowing all around
In the river and on the ground
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives
Until then he'll live in wonder
He won't fight or comprehend
In this world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end
He won't fight or comprehend
In this world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end
Where We Start
Where we start is where we end
We step out sweetly, nothing planned
Along by the river we feed bread to the swans
And then over the footbridge to the woods beyond
We step out sweetly, nothing planned
Along by the river we feed bread to the swans
And then over the footbridge to the woods beyond
We walk ourselves weary, you and I
There's just this moment
There's just this moment
I light a campfire away from the path
We lie in the bluebells, a woodpecker laughs
We lie in the bluebells, a woodpecker laughs
Time passes slowly our hearts entwined
All of the dark times left behind
All of the dark times left behind
The day is done
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket, it's time to go
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket, it's time to go
We walk ourselves weary, arm in arm
Back through the twilight
Home again
Back through the twilight
Home again
We waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow
So much behind us
Still far to go
So much behind us
Still far to go
