All About Eve - Wishing The Hours Away (1991) with David Gilmour

Dazed in the twilight, I see the mayfly fly...Clustering 'round streetlamps of a small town...Rush around, around...Flicker to the ground like snow...
Or the embers of a drowsy fire in cinders...Ephemeral, perpetual...And frail, pale written in water, fading...As the clothes we wore drift to the shore...In waves, in choirs, in spires...
White dressed, moon blessed...Milk breast, flower...Wishing the hours away...
Time, still fleeting...Transcending, never ending...Still meeting here with eternity...Still hand in hand...
Washed clean of sand like shells...Then time flies by...And moments die in thousands...Enshrouded, clouded...
White dressed moon blessed...Milk breast, flower...Wishing the hours away...Soft-fleshed, dark nest, miles away.
