Where We Start

(David Gilmour)

Where we start is where we end

We step out sweetly, with nothing planned

Along by the river we feed bread to the swans

And then over the footbridge to the woods beyond.

We walk ourselves weary, you and I

there's just this moment

I light a campfire away from the path

We lie in the bluebells, a woodpecker laughs

Time passes slowly our hearts entwined

All of the dark times left behind

The day is done

The sun sinks low

We fold up the blanket, it's time to go

We walk ourselves weary, arm in arm

Back through the twilight

Home again (we're home again)

We waltz in the moonlight and the embers glow

So much behind us

Still far to go
