The Beginning

The Beginning 3:02
     (written by Roger Waters)

Lyrics:
(See Green is the Colour.)
The lyrics are identical, except for the last line of the first verse:
Sunshine on her eyes, but moonshine made her blind every time

Lead vocals: Dave Gilmour

The Beginning is the start of our hero's adventure. In the context of The Journey Suite, this song conveys the state of mind of the hero before the adventure begins. Everything is peaceful and serene, with no hint of the travails to come. The hero is with a female companion, and life is fine. This is another song that had recently been recorded (as Green is the Colour) for the More soundtrack.
