David Gilmour - About Face


About Face    5th March 1984

“Until We Sleep”    (Gilmour)
Dance, to the movement of the stars
Sing till the walls around us ring
Pray that it never fades away
Until we sleep.

Feast, go ahead now, take your fill
Drink, till the room begins to sway
Play, and your cares will blow away
Until we sleep.

Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all.

Work, though the work will break your back
Rest, hope to feel your spirits rise
But the years, have cut you down to size
Now go to sleep.
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all.
