David Gilmour - On An Island
On An Island    6th March 2006

“On An Island”    (Gilmour & Polly 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 grow
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 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 grow
Feel her warmth beside you.
