A Single Spark David Gilmour

[Verse 1]
These days of wild uncertain times I ask the empty skies
Who will keep things rolling, who to sing Hosannas to
The temple calls but I can’t see what use my prayers will be
And will this world keep rolling with only good intentions

[Verse 2]
Still, it fills the eye this line of stone, incense, icons, coming on strong
Here comes splendour, hallowed air and is it wonder or

[Chorus]
Despair bends my knee, the day’s dying flame
Motes in its beam glitter and blaze
Say isn’t it true that it’s all through in a single spark between two eternities

[Verse 3]
I’ll watch the moon, kick off my shoes, reach for my old guitar
Fed on milk and honeydew, what things can we undo

[Chorus]
Desire bends my knee, the dying embers flame
Hungry to believe but just the same
Isn’t it true that it’s all through in a single spark between two eternities

[Verse 4]
Bittersweet the night’s embrace, I’m thankful and afraid
So pray to keep things rolling, I’ve only good intentions
