  • In the light before the dawn
    Shadows snake in my peripheral
    Mesmerize me, bring it on
    Heart beats with fear here in the theatre of my soul

    You see, I hope it will go on and on
    And when the curtain call is done
    Morning always comes

    It was a fine time to be born
    De-mob happy street and free milk for us all
    It was the right place to be sure
    Those dreaming spires and, yeah, oh so pastoral

    But let's hope it's not just luck and strange
    A one-off peaceful golden age
    That's a dark thought in the dark

    Seek what you won't find, that is a wasted life
    Or so the Ancients dropped by to tell me
    They drank me dry but my, oh my, so far, ah-ha

    Quite the time to be a boy
    Six-string masters of an expanding universe
    It was a high time to be sure
    Soaring and free from the bounds of the Earth

    But let's hope it's not just luck and strange
    A one-off peaceful golden age
    That's a dark thought in the dark

    Time for this mortal man to love the child that holds my hand
    And the woman who smiles when I embrace her
    These eyes stay dry but my, oh my, guitar Writer/s: David Gilmour, Polly Samson
