Gilmour David A Pocketful Of Stones Lyrics

A Pocketful Of Stones Lyrics

He's sending stones skimming and flying

Circles spinning out his time

Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars

Chances are this
spark's a lifetime



Out of touch he'll live in wonder

Won't
lose sleep he'll just pretend

In his world he won't go under

Turns
without him until the end



Rivers run dry but there's no line on
his brow

Says he doesn't care who's saved

It's just the dice you
roll, the here and now

And he's not guilty or afraid



One day
he'll slip away

Cool water flowing all around

In the river and on
the ground

Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives



Until then he'll live in wonder

He won't fight or comprehend

In his world he won't go under

Turns without him until the end
