"Obscured by Clouds" Music from the film "The Valley" by Barbet Produced by Pink Floyd Released 1972 "Obscured by Clouds" (Waters, Gilmour) (Instrumental) "When You're In" (Waters, Gilmour, Mason, Wright) (Instrumental) "Burning Bridges" (Wright, Waters) Bridges burning, blindly merging with the Shadow flickering between the light Stolen _________ floating softly on the air Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher Ancient bones are breaking Moving on and cahnging sides Dreaming of a new day, cast aside the other way Magic visions stirring, kindled by ________ burning Flames rise in her eyes The __________ expands _______________________________ ______________________________________________________ The moment is at hand, she breaks the golden band "The Gold It's in the...." (Waters, Gilmour) 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, Cause I'm only comin' 'long for the ride. Well, you go your way, I'll go mine. I don't care if we get there on time. Ev'rybody's searching for something they say. I'll get my kicks on the way. Over the mountain, across the seas, Who 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 close my eyes To see the sea gulls wheeling in those far distant skies. All I want to tell you, all I want to say Is count me in on the journey, Don't expect me to stay. "Wots ... Uh the Deal" (Waters, Gilmour) Heaven sent the promised land Looks all right from where I stand 'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in Waiting on the first step Show me where the key is kept Point me down the right line Because it's time To let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold 'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul And I think I'm growing old Flash the readies Wots..uh the deal? Got to make it to the next meal Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel Mile after mile stone after stone You turn to speak but you're alone Million miles from home you're on your own So let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold 'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul And I think I'm growing old Fire bright by candlelight and her by my side And if she prefers we never stir again Someone sent the promised land And I grabbed it with both hands Now I'm the man on the inside looking out Hear me shout Come on in What's the news? where you been? 'Cause there's no wind left in my soul And I've grown old "Mudmen" (Wright, Gilmour) (Instrumental) "Childhood's End" (Gilmour) You shout in your sleep. Perhaps the price is too steep. Is your conscience at rest If once put to the test? You awake with a start To just the beating of your heart. Just one man beneath the sky, Just two ears, just two eyes. You set sail across the sea Of long past thoughts and memories. Childhood's end, your fantasies Merge with harsh realities. And then as the sail is hoist, You find your eyes are growing moist. All the fears never voiced Say you have to make your final choice. Who are you and who am I To say we know the reason why? Some are born; some men die Beneath one infinite sky. There'll be war, there'll be peace. But ev'rything 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. "Free Four" (Waters) One, two, free four. The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime. You shuffle in the gloom of the sickroom And talk to yourself as you die. And life is a short warm moment And 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. But mind how you go I can tell you `cause I know You may find it hard to get off. But you are the angel of death And I am the dead man's son. He was buried like a mole in a foxhole And everyone's still on the run. And who is the master of foxhounds? And who says the hunt has begun? Who calls the tune in the courtroom? And who beats the funeral drum? The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime. Shuffle in the gloom of the sickroom And talk to yourself as you die. "Stay" (Wright, Waters) Stay and help me to end the day And if you don't mind we'll break a bottle of wine Stick around and maybe we'll put one down Cause I wanna find what lies behind those eyes Midnight blue burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold I rise looking through my morning eyes Surpised to find you by my side Rack my brain to try to remember your name To find the words to tell you goodbye Morning dues newborn day Midnight blue turned to gray Midnight blue burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold "Absolutely Curtains" (Waters, Gilmour, Wright, Mason) (Instrumental)
