Paroles Scattered David Gilmour

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
