David Gilmour - A Pocketful Of Stones Lyrics






He's sending stones skimming and flying
Circles spinning out his time
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
Chances are this spark's a lifetime

Out of touch he'll live in wonder
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end

Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow
Says he doesn't care who's saved
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
And he's not guilty or afraid

One day he'll slip away
Cool water flowing all around
In the river and on the ground
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives

Until then he'll live in wonder
He won't fight or comprehend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end

David Gilmour A Pocketful Of Stones Comments
  1. M.... L....

    Quite possibly, the best-sounding David Gilmour . . . AND Pink Floyd song . . . ever!

  2. R.... M....

    This is our reality now. Humanity is dying. Earth is dying

  3. s.... ....

    This is probably the closest David Gilmour ever got to with a song that had both the Pink Floyd sound AND Roger Water's lyrical content and social commentary.

    Pocketful of Stones is an underrated gem.

  4. D.... P....

    what can I say??  Love It!!

  5. K.... M....

    This music sucks a d!ck

  6. N.... N....

    Ending Solo 😍

  7. A.... B....

    Rivers run dry

  8. R.... P....

    Masterful album. It floats, it dreams, it soars, it finds peace. And this is on top of David's vast accomplishments with Pink Floyd.

  9. D.... M....

    Excelente Gilmour, ¡Gracias!

  10. C.... C....

    Talented man!

  11. T.... G....

    I didn't catch this song when I was listening to this album last year. YouTube Blacklisted perhaps? Now I'm chilling and ain't nothing gonna stop it.

  12. s.... f....

    by the way ,which one is pink...David Gilmour.

  13. P.... C....

    am i in Egypt right now or what. who gets me? Aye?

  14. S.... N....

    As long as people hear and feel music like this, mankind isn't lost...

  15. A.... A....

    David was the sound/music and Roger was the concept/lyrics..Roger couldn't write an instrumental to save his life, albeit David is incapable of writing lyrics/providing societal commentary...They're both equally important parts 50/50.

  16. h.... d....

    I feel misey for every supposed pink floyd fan who has not heard this musical as well as lyrical masterpiece rom Mr.Gilmour. Cant get over the depth of this song!

  17. 8.... ....

  23. K.... f....

    *Very slow, Pink Floyd - like song.* David is the soul of Floyd, no doubt.

  24. J.... S....

    I miss my boys sooo much...I had this cd while going thru a nasty divorce...I lived on my sailboat during that time & listened to this many times... it was so hard to let go...ILY Guys!.... miss u :'-(

    J.... S....

    its sad...

    J.... S....

    Joe Schmoe Aww I hope you get to see your son's soon I know how hard it must be but one day you'll be able to see them again. Play this song when you meet them again I'll listen and become inspired in your honor.

    J.... S....

    Vinyl better sound...

  25. A.... B....

    There really is just something so ... magic ... and very, very special about this song.

    A.... B....

    Alison Barton i feel this way about all of his songs, and Pink Floyd's

    A.... B....

    I know what you mean it's very deep

    A.... B....

    You know what it reminds me of? Studio Ghibli. Spirited Away, Laputa, When Marnie Was There,... it evokes those kinds of images and emotions. When I listen to this song I feel like a child again.

  26. D.... W....

    chills at 1:53 ..

  39. O.... ....

    I cant believe this album got lukewarm reviews with songs like this one on it

    O.... ....

    Not much surprised. Actually glad that it had review at all given the current view towards good music.

    O.... ....

    OcelotDAD

    O.... ....

    OcelotDAD - I agree...but that's because the only taste many 'critics' and 'reviewers' have is in their mouth, lol.

    O.... ....

    Don't believe that hype my friend. Any music fan worth there salt, can suffice the median consensus for this work was an ethereal pleasance. Even found myself keeping this album to myself and out of my recommendation list. To think, maybe reviewers just wanted to let it be a "saucer full of secrets" for as long as it was allowed in time.

    O.... ....

    A lot of critics have got their heads up their own asses. They wouldn't know good music if it slapped them in their face. I discovered this album a couple of years after it came out and loved it. Such an underrated gem.

  40. G.... E....

    This is great.never grow old

  41. l.... ....
