Burning Bridges

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]

Bridges burning gladly merging with the shadow

Flickering between the lines

Stolen moments floating softly on the air

Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher

[Verse 2: Richard Wright & Richard Wright & David Gilmour]

Ancient bonds are breaking

Moving on and changing sides

Dreaming of a new day

Cast aside the other way

Magic vision stirring

Kindled by and burning

Flames rise in her eyes

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3: Richard Wright & David Gilmour]

The door that stands ajar

The walls that once were high

Beyond the gilded cage

Beyond the reach of ties

The moment is at hand

She breaks the golden band

[Instrumental Outro]
