Re: I got a little black book with my poems in...

OK, back from my break.

Seamus, they are all very cool. The first one (about your Dad) was excellent, but I had my own feeling on what it was about. I guess that's why Gilmour prefers not to talk about his lyrics.

Well I guess I've fallen behind a little here, so I'd better throw another one in.

Smile

I was king of my world,
Then my world went and got bigger than me,
I was stuck in its valleys,
Of doubt, fear, and despair,
I didn't like living there,

But for a brief moment,
Just a short while,
You brought me out of that world,
And taught me to smile again,

I was flying towards,
The light at the end of the tunnel,
Frightened the light was,
The head of an oncoming train,
Now the tunnel's in darkness again,

But for a brief moment,
Just a short time,
You brought me out of the darkness,
And taught me to shine again,

And I don't want this,
To go away,
I'd love this feeling,
To stay,

'Cause for a brief moment,
Just a short time,
You brought me out of myself,
And made me smile, and shine again.
