Granchester meadows
 (Waters)

 Icy wind of night be gone
 This is not your domain
 In the sky a bird was heard to cry
 Misty morning whisperings
 And gentle stirring sounds
 Belied a deathly silence
 That lay all around

 Hear the lark and hearken
 To the barking of the dog fox
 Gone to ground
 See the splashing
 Of the kingfisher flashing to the water
 And a river of green is sliding
 Unseen beneath the trees
 Laughing as it passes
 Through the endless summer
 Making for the sea

 In the lazy water meadow
  I lay me down
 All around me golden sun flakes
 Settle on the ground
 Basking in the sunshine
 Of a by-gone afternoon
 Bringing sounds of yesterday
 Into this city room

 Hear the lark and hearken
 To the barking of the dog fox
  Gone to ground
  See the splashing
Of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding
Unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes
Through the endless summer
making for the sea

In the hazy water meadow
I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes
Covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine
Of a by-gone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday
 Into my city room

Hear the lark and hearken
To the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing
Of the kingfisher flashing to the water
A river of green is sliding
Unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes
Through the endless summer
making for the sea

The narrow way
(Gilmour)
 

Part one

Part two

  Part three
 

  Following the path
As it leads towards the darkness in the north
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
 They've seen that hope before
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aching eyes, be on your way

Mist is swelling, creatures crawling
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aching eyes, be on your way

Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the nights will be as close as on that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aching eyes, be on your way
