You were the only thing I had
How could a good love go so bad
Somehow I guess I should have known
That you would leave me here alone
They say you found somebody new
But that won't change my love for you
How could you leave me on my own
You know I hate to sleep alone
Remember how it used to be
When you were here with me
You were the only one I've known
And how I hate to sleep alone
Someday, some way, somebody new
Will make you feel the way that I do
But I just wish that you'd come home
You know that I hate to sleep alone
But I just
A New Machine
(David Gilmour/Polly 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 came 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
New life devolves 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 grey
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 bitter residue slipped away...slipped away
