In Any Tongue - Live at Pompeii

David Gilmour, Polly Samson

[Verse 1]
Home and done it's just begun
His heart weighs more, more than it ever did before
What has he done? God help my son
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up
No sugar is enough to bring sweetness to his cup
I know sorrow tastes the same on any tongue

[Chorus 1]
How was I to feel it
When a gun was in my hands
And I'd waited for so long?
How was I to see straight
In the dust and blinding sun
Just a pair of boots on the ground

[Verse 2]
On the screen the young men die
The children cry in the rubble of their lives
What has he done? God help my son
Hey, stay a while, I'll stay up
The volume pumped right up but not enough to drown it out
I hear "Mama", sounds the same in any tongue

[Chorus 2]
How am I to see you
When my faith stands in the way
And the wailing is long done?
How am I to know you
With a joystick in my hand
When the call to arms has come?
