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 warmth and the laughter

candles burned

Though the church was deserted

At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbor

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.

Remember that night, marble steps in the moonlight.

They also walked here, through the playground, this ghost town.

The children swing again, reaching higher,

sharing a dream; on an island it felt perfect.

We lie together between the moon and the tide,

pointing at the stars for a moment.

Let the night wrap you up;

We're halfway to the stars.

The coming and going of the waves, don't worry,

feel the warmth next to you.

Remember that night, the warmth and laughter.

The candles burned even though the church was deserted.

We went towards the port at dawn, through empty streets.

The dreamers may be gone, but they are here after all.

Let the night wrap you up;

We're halfway to the stars.

The coming and going of the waves, don't worry,

feel the warmth next to you.

THE BLUE (Gilmour, Samson)

Shameless be

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

See right through

And color us blue

wait for me

Shameless you, the sea

soon the blue

So soon.

shameless sea,

Out of control, so blue.

The midnight moon shines for you.

Peaceful, abandoned,

silence is carried away by the current.

No place to choose

only blue.

Non stop,

full of stars you and me.

Save our souls

we will always be sad.

the waves break,

they sway us with the blue,

they drag us slowly in them,

And they color us blue.

Wait for me,

you shameless

the sea.

soon in blue

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 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 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.

breathe,

Now take a deep breath.

breathe,

now a good puff.

When you're down is when you find yourself.

When you are at the bottom, there is nothing else.

If you're lost, you'll need to navigate yourself;

then you will find there is no one else.

Make the plays you can make

when you are in disgrace with sad eyes.

Each of your breaths becomes another world,

the living hell of faraway Horison.

breathe,

Now take a deep breath.

This kind of love is hard to find

I never conquered you by being nice.

If I'm the one to take you to the water,

At least I'll teach you how to swim to shore.

When you're down is when you find yourself.

When you are at the bottom, there is nothing else.

If you're lost, you'll need to navigate yourself;

then you will find there is no one else.

RED SKY AT NIGHT (Gilmour)

Instrumental

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.

All the pieces fit

When we walk through these fields.

And I get up and touch your face;

this earthly Heaven is enough for me.

So break the bread and serve the wine;

I don't need blessings, but I thank the Lord.

Life is more than what money buys

when I see the faith in the eyes of my children.

I have felt the power in a sacred place,

I have wanted comfort when I am in need.

Now I am here in a state of grace.

This earthly Heaven is enough for me.

So break the bread and serve the wine;

I don't need blessings but I'm counting mine

Life is more than what money buys

when I see the faith in the eyes of my children.

THEN I CLOSE MY EYES (Gilmour)

Instrumental

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 remember through the dark hours

We'll only sacrifice what time will allow us

You're following…

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.

This would make it alright

while sleep has overcome you, where you cannot see me.

I will leave

I'm ready.

I will find another better way

To find my way home to your smile

Spend days and days in this fight,

I'm always up and down in the middle of the night

without the hope of remembering in the black hours.

We will only sacrifice what time allows us.

you sigh...

Very lonely, although you are here.

Now it's time to get away from your sad look.

I will leave

I'm ready.

I will find another 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

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 do not believe in other lives

Until then he'll live in wonder

he won't fight or understand

In his world he won't go under

Turns without him until the end.

He is throwing stones that bounce and fly along the water.

Circles going round out of their time.

Though the earth is dying,

his head is in the stars.

opportunities do

May this spark be unique.

Incommunicado, he will live in amazement.

You won't lose sleep. He will only pretend.

In his world, he will not sink.

It will spin without him, until the end.

The rivers dry up

but there is no frown on his brow.

He says he doesn't care who gets saved.

It's just the dice you roll, the present,

right now.

And he is not guilty, nor is he afraid.

One day it will run away.

Cool water flowing around.

By river and by land.

With a bag full of stones,

without believing in other lives.

Until then you will live in awe.

He will not fight or understand.

In his world, he will not sink.

It will spin 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.
