Roger Waters - Each small candle

Tekst :

Not the torturer will scare me
Nor the body s final fall
Nor the barrels of death s rifles
Nor the shadows on the wall
Nor the night when to the ground
The last dim star of pain, is held
But the blind indifference
Of a merciless unfeeling world

Lying in the burnt out shell
Of some Albanian farm
An old Babushka
Holds a crying baby in her arms
A soldier from the other side
A man of heart and pride
Breaks ranks, lays down his rifle
And kneels by her side

He binds her wounds
He gives her food
And calms the crying child
She gives him absolution then
Across the great divide
He picks his way back through the broken
China of her life
And there at the kerb
The samaritan Serb turns..
Turns and waves.. goodbye

And each small candle
Lights a corner of the dark...

    Livin on a chain gang

    Turn on the TV, cause I got nowhere to go
    Seems that there s a little trouble down in Mexico
    A 13-year-old boy robs a store so he can eat
    And they got him doing time while killers walk the streets

    A hungry politician...

    Hanging up on you

    You called me on the phone
    And made like everything was alright
    You said you were alone
    Just hanging around the house last night

    It s unbelievable the way you were treating me
    I m not so cold
    Don t believe I couldn...

    Escape the nest

    Buildings in clouds here
    Our time and our place dear
    There s life in us yet love
    These walls we will climb above

    We really our ants now
    Escape the nest somehow
    I ache for a feeling
    You came and you poured it in, it in.

    Buildings in clouds here
    Our time and our place dear
    There s life in...

    Landing

    Thick black soul
    moving slow, moving close to you
    this life i don t know
    it seems kinda sick to me
    hold eachother tight
    walking through to my destiny
    this glitter in my eye
    catches light catches sympathy
    this glitter in my...

    Stranded

    I don t wanna feel like I m stranded
    You left me all alone
    I can t take it no more
    I wish that you were here by my side
    Cause I remember those days
    When it was our time
    If I could right the wrong that I did
