Live in Gdansk

Produceret af David Gilmour og Phil Manzanera
Orkester ledelse Michael Kamen og Zbigniew Preisner
Koncert optaget 26. august 2006
Udgivet Oktober 2008

Endnu en liveudgivelse fra On an Island turneen. Meget ved denne udgivelse giver indtryk af at der her skal tjenes en masse penge på sultne fans. Først kom CD'en i marts 2006. Så kom der en special-CD med en ekstra DVD med i pakken. Så kom en single CD med nogle livenumre fra turneen hvor blandt andet David Bowie sang Arnold Layne. Derefter udgav man en dobbelt DVD med liveoptagelser fra denne turnee optaget hovedsageligt i Royal Albert Hall i London. Og så to år efter turneen er slut, udgiver de så endnu mere livemateriale fra samme turnee.
Altså er det hele plat og humbug ? Langt fra. For ægte Gilmourfans er dette materiale guld værd. Kvalitetne er selvfølgelig i top og så er ekstramaterialet det rene guf.

Koncerten faldt udenfor resten af Gilmours On an Island Tour. Det var en koncert Gilmour blev inviteret til at afholde i forbindelse med Solidarnos'c' havde 25 års jubilæum. Derfor ser man også Gilmour tale med Lech Walensa og derfor afholdtes koncerten på skibsværftet i Gdansk.
Allerede under tilblivelsen af On an Island pladen havde Gilmour arbejdet sammen med to polske musikere som begge selvfølgelig var med her ved koncerten. Den ene Zbigniew Preisner var med til at lede orkesteret (Michael Kamen dirigerede vist) og den anden Leszek Mozdzer spillede piano.

Der var i hvert fald i starten 5 forskellige versioner af denne udgivelse tilgængeligt.

Jeg har valgt at liste sangene op, som de findes på 5 disk udgaven, da jeg regner med, at de dækker det hele.
Helt ærligt aner jeg ikke hvad der præcist er på vinyludgaven.

Disc 1

Speak to Me (Mason)

(Instrumental)

"Breathe" (Waters, Gilmour, Wright)

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

"Time" (Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

"Breathe" (reprise) (Waters, Gilmour, Wright)

Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tooling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

"Castellorizon" (Gilmour)

Instrumental

"On an Island" (Gilmour; Gilmour Samson)

Remember that night...
White sails in the moonlight
They walked it 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 half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the warmth beside you

Remember that night,
The warmth and the laughter
Candles burn...
Though the church was deserted
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Dreamers may leave ...but we're here everafter...
Da da da da da....
Let the night surround you
We're half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the 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...
Soon the blue, so soon

"Red Sky at Night" (Gilmour)

Instrumental

"This Heaven" (Gilmour, 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 byes
when I see the faith in my children's eyes

I've felt the power in a holy place
Whished 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)

Instrumental

"Smile" (Gilmour, Samson)

Would this do
to make it allright
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... sighing

All alone
though you're right here
Now it's time to go
from your sad stare

Make my getaway
time on my own
leaving's a better way
to find my way home to your smile... smile
your smile

"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
and 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
take a deep breath now
Take a breath
a deep breath now
Take a breath

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 youself
then you'll find out that there's no-one else

"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 tuoch he'll live in wonder
Won't loose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him till 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 belive 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 till the end

"Where We Start"(Gilmour)

Where we start is where we end
We step out sweetly, with 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 days is done
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket, it's time to go

We walk ourselves weary, arm in arm
back trough the twillight
home again
We're home again

We waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow
so much behind us
still far to go
Still far to go

Disc 2

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Wright, Waters, Gilmour)

Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome
With random percision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Astronomy Domine (Barrett)

Lime and limpid green, a second scene a fight between the blue you once knew.
Floating down, the sound resounds around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania.
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten.

Blinding signs flap, flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow.
Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there?
Lime and limpid green, the sounds surround the icy waters underground
Lime and limpid green, the sounds surrounds the icy waters underground.

Fat Old Sun (Gilmour)

When the fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Summer's thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells, new mown grass
Smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

High Hopes (Gilmour, Samson)

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

Echoes (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no one called us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's.
Something stirs and something tries
Starts to climb toward the light.

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can.

And no one called us to the land
And no one crosses there alive
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun....

Almost everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me
To rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour)

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

A Great Day for Freedom (Gilmour, Samson)

On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived

On the day the wall cane down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight

I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you

Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray

I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped away

"Comfortably Numb" (Gilmour, Waters)

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Wright, Waters, Gilmour)

Remember when yuo were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome
With random percision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine

Wearing the Inside Out (Wright, Moore)

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognise what I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word...overrun

Won't hear a sound
From my mouth
I've spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart's
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all away
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's coming round
He's starting to choke
It's been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again

I'm holding out
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I'm with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again

He's curled into the corner
But still the screen is flickering
With an endless stream of garbage to
...curse the place
In a sea of random images
The self-destructing animal
Waiting for the waves to break

He's standing on the threshold
Caught in fiery anger
And hurled into the furnace he'll
...curse the place
He's torn in all directions
And the screen is still flickering
Waiting for the flames to break

O.K.
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb

"On an Island" (Gilmour, Samson)

Remember that night...
White sails in the moonlight
They walked it 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 half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the warmth beside you

Remember that night,
The warmth and the laughter
Candles burn...
Though the church was deserted
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Dreamers may leave ...but we're here everafter...
Da da da da da....
Let the night surround you
We're half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the warmth beside you...

High Hopes (Gilmour, Samson)

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

"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...
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
and 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
take a deep breath now
Take a breath
a deep breath now
Take a breath

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 youself
then you'll find out that there's no-one else

Echoes (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no one called us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's.
Something stirs and something tries
Starts to climb toward the light.

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can.

And no one called us to the land
And no one crosses there alive
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun....

Almost everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me
To rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Gilour, Waters, Wright)

Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome
With random percision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Dominoes (Barrett)

It's an idea, someday
in my tears, my dreams
don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
you and I, you and I and dominoes, the day goes by...

You and I in place
wasting time on dominoes
a day so dark, so warm
life that comes of no harm
you and I and dominoes, time goes by...

Fireworks and heat, someday
hold a shell, a stick or play
overheard a lark today
losing when my mind's astray
don't you want to know with your pretty hair
stretch your hand, glad feel,
in an echo for your way.

It's an idea, someday...

It's an idea, someday
in my tears, my dreams
don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
you and I, you and I and dominoes, the day goes by...

Wish You Were Here (Gilour, Waters)

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Coming Back to Life (Gilour)

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight into the shining sun

Find the Cost of Freedom (Stills)

Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down
Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down

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 byes
when I see the faith in my children's eyes

I've felt the power in a holy place
Whished 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

Wearing the Inside Out (Wright, Moore)

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognise what I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word...overrun

Won't hear a sound
From my mouth
I've spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart's
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all away
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's coming round
He's starting to choke
It's been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again

I'm holding out
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I'm with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again

He's curled into the corner
But still the screen is flickering
With an endless stream of garbage to
...curse the place
In a sea of random images
The self-destructing animal
Waiting for the waves to break

He's standing on the threshold
Caught in fiery anger
And hurled into the furnace he'll
...curse the place
He's torn in all directions
And the screen is still flickering
Waiting for the flames to break

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 tuoch he'll live in wonder
Won't loose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him till 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 belive 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 till the end

Where We Start (Gilmour)

Where we start is where we end
We step out sweetly, with 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 days is done
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket, it's time to go

We walk ourselves weary, arm in arm
back trough the twillight
home again
We're home again

We waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow
so much behind us
still far to go
Still far to go

On the Turning Away (Gilmour, Moore)

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
and casting it's shroud
over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
in the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
