A Great Day For Freedom Lyrics - Live In Gdansk - David Gilmour

On the day the wall came down 

They threw the locks onto the ground 

And with glasses high we raised a cry 

For freedom had arrived 

On the day the wall came down 

The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground 

Promises lit up the night 

Like paper doves in flight 

I dreamed you had left my side 

No warmth, not even pride remained 

And even though you needed me 

It was clear that I could not do a thing for you

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now life devalues day by day 

As friends and neighbors turn away 

And there's a change that, even with regret, 

Cannot be undone 

Now frontiers shift like desert sands 

While nations wash their bloodied hands 

Of loyalty, of history, 

In shades of grey 

Photos 

I woke to the sound of drums 

The music played, the morning sun streamed in 

I turned and I looked at you 

And all but the bitter residues slipped away... slipped away
