OUT OF THE BLUE
David Gilmour

VERSE:
Bb F
Out of the blue,
Bb F
On the wings of a dove,
Bb F
A messenger comes,
C
with the beating of drums,
Bb
it's not a message of love

Bb F
Our children are born,
Bb F
and we keep them warm,
Bb F
they must have the right
C
to live in the light,
Bb
to be safe from the storm.

Bb F
And out of the blue,
Bb F
with wings on his heels,
Bb F
a messenger comes,
C
bearing regrets
Bb
for the time that he steals.

Bb F
But steal it he will,
Bb F
my children's and mine,
Bb F
against our desires,
C
against all our needs,
Bb
our blood spilled like wine.

CHORUS:
Dm

Dm C Bb
Over and over we call,
Dm
No one hears... and further
C Bb F
and further and further we fall...
Dm C Bb
Though we brave it, we soon will have wait
Dm C
It is clear that it's no dream at all,
Bb F
our lives are at stake.

Bb C

VERSE:
Bb F
I cannot believe...
Bb F
nor even pretend...
Bb F
that the thunder I hear,
C
will just disappear,
Bb
and the nightmare will end.

Bb F
So hold back the fire,
Bb F
because this much is true,
Bb F
when all's said and done,
C
then ending will come,
Bb
from out of the blue.
