Floyd Pink Echoes Lyrics

Echoes Lyrics

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air 

And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves 

The echo of a distant tide 

Comes willowing across the sand 

And everything is green and submarine 

And no one showed us to the land 

And no one knows the wheres or whys 

But something stirs and 

Something tries 

And starts to climb towards the light 

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 

And no one calls us to the land 

And no one crosses there alive 

And no one speaks 

And no one tries 

And no one flies around the sun 

And now this is the day you fall 

Upon my waking eyes 

Inviting and inciting me to rise 

And through the window in the wall 

Comes streamin in on sunlight wings 

A million bright ambassadors of morning 

And no one sings me lullabies 

And no one makes me close my eyes 

So I throw the windows wide 

And call to you across the sky
