[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
