Gilmour, David - On An Island Lyrics






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

    Cool music to kill the pain

  22. B.... ....

    I only just discovered this album, this year. I was going to Anastasia Island for a week and looking for music. This was it. As I toured nearby old-St Augustine, this song was in my head non-stop. So surreal, almost like these songs were tailor made for my trip to the sea. Listening & singing along to it again on youtube today, can't get enough!

  23. V.... V....

    Safe in this sound ;D ahhhhhhhhhh

  24. D.... V....

    What a song ♥️

  25. C.... J....

    His voice sounds like a smooth grey fleece blanket and the pale green instrumentals intertwine with it in a swirly pattern. Sorry, can't help it. I have synesthesia.

  26. k.... w....

    I ❤️ you

  27. m.... M....

    Ebb n flow let gumb go..!!!!

  28. J.... M....

    About every single American is retarded! No exception! Everyone one of them! I am not them! They will not let me be an American! I am just a Mexican to this country! Any time people ever liked me, assholes spread rumors and lies about me and then after awhile no one liked me ever again and I had no friends period! Russia, do the world a favor and nuke the fucking shit out of this country!

    J.... M....

    Jay MacDonald why do u feel the need to comment this here

  29. B.... ....

    Probably reffering to Castellorizon or another Greek island ... listening to this amazing tune vocals makes me happy i am Greek and David Gilmour inspired by my country...

  30. d.... ....

    1:05: it reminds "turn of a friendly card" by Alan Parsons

  31. C.... H....

    veldig fin musikk jeg liker veldig mye .

  32. T.... D....

    A few days ago this was echoing through the endless fields and forest of Pirogovo Open Air Museum / Kiev during a soundcheck of a concert.. and It became the soundtrack of our trip

  33. D.... ....

    Oddly enough this song features Richard Wright on organ and Bob Klose on guitar.
    Thank you David! 🙏

    Mastery of emotional expression it's so refined that the emotion he portrays into the notes hit perfectly in return back into your own perception and emotions ...mastery..if u think u get lost into this music... Just imagine how David Gilmore himself feels playing it... It's like a drug an entrancement of bliss I'm sure lol

    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

  80. E.... G....

  90. i.... l....

    *peaceful song* *guitar solo rips your fucking heart out* * peaceful song*

  91. S.... ....

    nyilvános megjegyzés

  92. I.... ....

    Now there's a look in your eyes

  93. S.... J....

    At 2:40, it begins to sound like the The Wall. I'm not really sure if I dig it, cause I never feel good listening to The Wall. Overall, this song is amazing.

    S.... J....

    More like ,,What do you want from me,,

  94. a.... ....

    This is a fine piece of progressive rock.

  95. o.... i....

    Gilmour is alien

  96. J.... H....

    David Gilmour is an amazing guitarist and vocalist. I love the sound he produces with the guitar. He sounds great playing any guitar but the black strat sound is so killer.

  97. H.... ....

    David Gilmour can say more with one note than most musicians can say in a thousand
