on an island

Singer: david gilmour

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 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
