On a distant shore, miles from land
stands the ebony totem in ebony sand
a dream in a mist of gray...
on a far distant shore...
The pebble that stood alone
and driftwood lies half buried
warm shallow waters sweep shells
so the cockles shine...
A bare winding carcass, stark
shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way...
dry tears...
crisp flax squeaks tall reeds
make a circle of gray in a summer way, around man
stood on ground...
I'm trying
I'm trying to find you!
To find you
I'm living, I'm giving,
To find you, To find you,
I'm living, I'm living,
I'm trying, I'm giving

I like to think this was a tribute to Opal Whitely. Did Syd know of her? Did Syd sympathize with Opal Whitely?
-
What I most like about his tunes are the 'homemade in a split second' feel on them.
They all sound really natural, spontaneous and wonderful.

@CaptainBukcwald Syd Barrett > Davis Gilmour + Roger Waters
-
utterly wonderful!!! we love you,Terrapin :-) xxx
-
@stnavres Nevermind, i made a mistake there, but my opinion is still the same. Respect for Gilmour, but Syd is the best!
-
@CaptainBukcwald Syd Barrett != David Gilmour
-
Happy Birthday, Syd... <3
-
@TheElma4 I never actually said that he said "Fuck Gilmour". Read the comment that I replied to.

@stnavres He did not say fuck Gilmour, he said Barrett is bigger than him. Nobody can say Gilmour sucks, though. He is a hell of an artist as well...in my opinion, the combination Syd-Gilmour would be like >>>>>> than Gilmour-Waters
-
@MajorJackassCunt Syd > Gilmour isn't bad, it's merely stating preference. But people saying fuck Gilmour are idiots, they are both amazing.
