On An Island.

(Gilmour, Samson)

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.

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 warmt 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.

(Gilmour-Samson)

Shameless sea

Aimlessly so blue

Midnight-moon shines for you.

Still, marooned

Silence drifting through

Nowhere 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

The you'll find 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 teh 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 drown there's nothing else

When you're lost you need to find yourself

Then you'll find out that there's no-one else.

This Heaven.

(Gilmour-Samson)

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.

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.

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.

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 sighing...

All alone though you're right here

How it's time to go from your sad stars.

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 eart 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.

Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow

Says he doesn't care who is 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.
