On An Island (Gilmour/GilmourSamson)

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

 


The Blue (Gilmour/Samson)

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 (Gilmour/Samson)


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




Red Sky At Night (Gilmour)

This Heaven  (Gilmour/GilmourSamson)


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




Then I Close My Eyes (Gilmour)

(Instrumentaal)




Smile (Gilmour/Samson)


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




A Pocketful Of Stones (Gilmour/Samson)


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
