A David Gilmour song today, just this.. nothing more..

Scattered 

Take my arm and walk with me

Once more down this dusty old path

The sunset cuts the hill in half

Our shadows stretch back to touch the night

The light's fading, you say

But these darkening days

Flow like honey


These days slowing down

A whole life in a glance

The clearest light shines in the darkness

Shining on me

And we're still doing this dance

One step at a time

As the days slip by

As smooth as glass

The moments pass


And all these precious things you gave

That I've been holding in my hands

These grains of sand

A man stands in a river

Pushes against the stream

Time is a tide that disobeys

It disobeys me


These days slowing down

A whole life in a glance

The clearest light shines in the darkness

Still shining on me

And we're still doing this dance

The Moon and the stars

As the days slip by

As smooth as glass

The moments pass


And all these precious things you gave

Falling through my hands

These worlds, this scattered sand

I stand in a river

Push against the stream

Time is a tide that disobeys

And it disobeys me

It never ends
