ON AN ISLAND

Music & lyrics by David Gilmour

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Remember that night, white stairs in the moonlight

They walked here too, through empty playground, this ghosts town

Children again on rusty 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 awhile

 

Let the night surround you

We're halfway to the stars

Ebb and flow, let it go

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 harbor

Dreamers may leave but they're here everafter

 

Let the night surround you

We're halfway to the stars

Ebb and Flow, let it go

Feel the warmth beside you

Done
