David Gilmour, along with Roger Waters, was the lead vocalist, and guitarist, for the progressive rock group Pink Floyd. Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in 1968, when he was asked to replace former frontman and guitarist Syd Barrett. Barrett was becoming increasingly difficult to work with (partly due to substance abuse), so Gilmour stepped in to fill the void. Gilmour's contributions helped to define what would become known as the "Pink Floyd" sound. With Roger Waters, Gilmour co-wrote many of Pink Floyd's classic songs, including "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Wish You Were Here", "Time", "Dogs", "Echoes", "Comfortably Numb", and "Run Like Hell".

Until We Sleep Lyrics
David Gilmour
Dance, to the movement of the stars
Sing till the walls around us ring
Pray that it never fades away
Until we sleep
Feast, go ahead now, take your fill
Drink, till the room begins to sway
Play, and your cares will blow away
Until we sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all
Work, though the work will break your back
Rest, hope to feel your spirits rise
But the years, have cut you down to size
Now go to sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all
