Free Four Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Obscured By Clouds

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Obscured by Clouds Lyrics / Free Four Lyrics Free Four (Waters) 4:15 The memories of a man in his old ageAre the deeds of a man in his prime.You shuffle in gloom of the sickroomAnd talk to yourself as you die. Life is a short, warm momentAnd death is a long cold rest.You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:Eighty years, with luck, or even less. So all aboard for the American tour,And maybe you’ll make it to the top.And mind how you go, and I can tell you, ’cause I knowYou may find it hard to get off. You are the angel of deathAnd I am the dead man’s son.And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole.And everyone is still in the run. And who is the master of fox hounds?And who says the hunt has begun?And who calls...

Childhood’s End Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Obscured By Clouds

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Obscured by Clouds Lyrics / Childhood’s End Lyrics Childhood’s End (Gilmour) 4:31 You shout in your sleep.Perhaps the price is just too steep.Is your conscience at restIf once put to the test?You awake with a startTo just the beating of your heart.Just one man beneath the sky,Just two ears, just two eyes. You set sail across the seaOf long past thoughts and memories.Childhood’s end, your fantasiesMerge with harsh realities.And then as the sail is hoist,You find your eyes are growing moist.All the fears never voicedSay you have to make your final choice. Who are you and who am ITo say we know the reason why?Some are born; some men dieBeneath one infinite sky.There’ll be war, there’ll be peace.But everything one day will cease.All the iron turned to rust;All the proud men turned to dust.And so all things, time will mend.So this song will end. 01. Obscured By Clouds02. When...

Gold It’s In The… Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Obscured By Clouds

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Obscured by Clouds Lyrics / Gold It’s In The… Lyrics The Gold it’s in The… (Waters, Gilmour) 3:07 Come on, my friends,Let’s make for the hills.They say there’s gold but I’m looking for thrills.You can get your hands on whatever we find,Because I’m only coming along for the ride. Well, you go your way,I’ll go mine.I don’t care if we get there on time.Everybody’s searching for something, they say.I’ll get my kicks on the way.Over the mountains, across the seasWho knows what will be waiting for me?I could sail forever to strange sounding names.Faces of people and places don’t change. All I have to do is just close my eyesTo see the seagulls wheeling on those far distant skies.All I want to tell you, all I want to sayIs count me in on the journey.Don’t expect me to stay. 01. Obscured By Clouds02. When You’re In03. Burning Bridges04. Gold It’s In...
