Pink Floyd - Childhood's End (Gilmour)
G D Am Em
Em
You shout in your sleep.
Am
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Em Am
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
Em Am
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
G D Em G D Am Em
Just one man beneath the sky, just two ears, just two eyes.
Em Am
You set sail across the sea of long past thoughts and memories.
Em Am
Childhood's end, your fantasies merge with harsh realities.
Em Am
And then as the sail is hoist, you find your eyes are growing moist.
G D Am G D Am Em
All the fears never voiced say you have to make your final choice.
Em Am
Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why?
Em Am
Some are born; some men die beneath one infinite sky.
Em
There'll be war, there'll be peace.
Am
But everything one day will cease.
G D Em
All the iron turned to rust; all the proud men turned to dust.
Am
And so all things time will mend.
G D Em
So this song will end.
G D Am Em G D Am Em

| p.s. i havn't see La Vallee but i heard its very low budget film about a group of hippies that live with a tribe and experience nature. ive heard good reviews but i dont think this film would really spark my interests. id love to see it for the floyd music though | |

| Roger Waters is an amzing song writer this is probaly my second favourite floyd song, behind CWTAE, echoes, and pigs (three different ones) and tied with cymbaline. The book Childhood's End is amazing. | |

| Kick ass song, I like this song because the beat is so awesome and I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan but I borrowed this CD from a friend to see some albums I hadn't heard of and this song projected from the album. Great number. Love that damn organ | |

| i love how this song calls on you to question your own personal opinion. "who are you and who am i, to say we know the reason why......." its quite ironic on a site like this one. This song pushes you to think way outside the box, a characteristic of most floyd songs. It blows my mind how many people are unaware that this song exists. i love this song because of that reason. i dont know why, but it seems more special and personal to me( like only a handful of people know it, and i get to be one of them, yessss!) | |

| I havent seen La Vallee but I have seen More and im not willing to stick my neck out to find it after that first B-rated hippy movie (not that hippies are bad). U cant really rent More or La Vallee so to see them u or someone u know has to buy it. But this song is really good. This combined with Echoes are the roots to DSOTM. They merge to form this dreamy sound about life. Good stuff. | |

| I forgot to close my last post. The point was, this album is right in the middle of what PF has done, and it is better than what most bands reach in their prime. | |
