Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: David Gilmour & Richard Wright] Overhead, the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine [Chorus: David Gilmour & Richard Wright] And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's or why's But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light [Verse 2: David Gilmour & Richard Wright] Strangers passing in the street By chance, two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can? [Chorus: David Gilmour & Richard Wright] And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the Sun [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3: David Gilmour & Richard Wright] Cloudless, every day you fall Upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning [Chorus: David Gilmour & Richard Wright] And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide Call to you across the sky [Instrumental Outro]
