Echoes Song by Pink Floyd


 Overhead the albatross

Hangs motionless upon the airAnd deep beneath the rolling wavesIn labyrinths of coral cavesThe echo of a distant timeComes willowing across the sandAnd everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the landAnd no one knows the where's or why'sBut something stirs and something triesAnd starts to climb toward the light
Strangers passing in the streetBy chance, two separate glances meetAnd I am you and what I see is meAnd do I take you by the handAnd lead you through the landAnd help me understand the best I can?
And no one calls us to move onAnd no one forces down our eyesNo one speaks and no one triesNo one flies around the sun
Cloudless everydayYou fall upon my waking eyesInviting and inciting me to riseAnd through the window in the wallCome streaming in on sunlight wingsA million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabiesAnd no one makes me close my eyesSo I throw the windows wideAnd call to you across the sky
Songwriters: David Gilmour / George Waters / Nicholas Mason / Richard Wright
