"A Pillow of Winds" is the second track from Pink Floyd's 1971 album Meddle.[1][2]
According to the 1996 Pink Floyd history book by Cliff Jones, the band felt that "One of These Days" was such a powerful track that they needed to bring everyone down with something gentle. The song is a soft acoustic piece, and rather uncharacteristically for a Pink Floyd song, the lyrics deal with love. Guitarist David Gilmour composed the track, and Roger Waters wrote the lyrics. This song also features slide guitar work by Gilmour. The song begins and ends in the key of E major, with a darker middle section (following the lyric, "and the candle dies") in the parallel minor, E minor.
According to Nick Mason, the song's title originates from a possible hand in the game of Mahjong, with which the band had become enamoured while touring. David Gilmour -- vocals, acoustic guitar and slide guitar Richard Wright -- Hammond organ Nick Mason -- cymbals Roger Waters -- bass
A cloud of eider down
Draws around me softening the sound
Sleepy time when I lie
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And the candle dies.
When night comes down you lock the door
The boot falls to the floor
As darkness falls the waves roll by
The seasons change
The wind is warm.
Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan
Behold a dream, the dream is gone
Green fields
A cold rain is falling
Near the golden dawn.
And deep beneath the ground
The early morning sounds and I go down
Sleepy time in my life
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And I rise like a bird
In the haze and the first rays touch the sky
And the night winds die....
"Darkness reigns at the foot of your lighthouse"
During the storm or in the darkness...I follow you...to your safe harbor...Dedicated to the man who will always be my guiding light !
