HOWEVER...according to the U.S. Copyright Database, "Stay" is credited as "Words and music by Roger Waters and Rick Wright."
Actually, everything from
Obscured By Clouds and earlier was credited that way. Later filings were much more specific; "Dogs" is credited to "Roger Waters, words and music, David Gilmour, music"; "What Do You Want From Me?" is "David Gilmour, words and music, Polly Samson, words, Rick Wright, music."

This appears to be, of all things, an Eminem song that quoted or sampled something Roger wrote, but I'm not interested enough to look it up.
I'm much more interested in a song called "Tonight I'll Help You Say Goodbye Again", recorded by country star Mickey Gilley for his album,
The Songs We Made Love To, released in 1978 or 1979. This particular song is credited to "Roger Waters, words and music."
There's also a song from 1996 called "Without Blame", which is a duet between Ismaël Lô - a Senegalese singer known as "the Bob Dylan of Africa" - and Marianne Faithfull. The lyrics are in French and English, with the English being credited to Roger Waters.
