ON AN ISLAND (2006) |
|
Castellorizon (Gilmour)
Remember
that night White
steps in the moonlight They
walked here too Through
empty playground, this ghost’s 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 Let
the night surround 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 downthrough 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 Shameless
sea Aimlessly
so blue Midnight-moon
shines for you Still,
marooned Silence
drifting through Nowere
to choose Just
blue… Ceaselessly 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 Wait
for me Shameless
you, the sea Soon,
the Blue So
soon…
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 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 horizon’s living hell Take
a breath 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 When
you’re down is where you’ll know yourself That
if you drawn there’s nothing else When
you’re lost youneed to find yourself Then you’ll find out that there’s no-one else
All
the piecs fall into place 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’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 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
(Instrumentaal)
Would
this do to make it all right 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 Waisting
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
sighing… All
alone though you’re right here Now
it’s time to go from your sad stare I’ll
make my getaway Time
on my own Leaving’s
a better way To find my way home to your smile
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 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 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 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 Until
then he’ll live in wonder He
won’t fight or comprehend In
his world he won’t go under Turns without him until the end
Where We Start (Gilmour)
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
walk ourselves weary, you and I There’s
just this moment I
light a campfire away from the path We
lie in the bluebells, a woodpecker laughs Time
passes slowly our hearts entwined 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 We
walk ourselves weary, arm in arm Back
through the twilight Home
again We
waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow So
much behind us Still far to go
