Echoes

 

[Verse 1]

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]

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

 

[Instrumental]

 

[Verse 2]

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]

And no-one calls us to move on

And no-one forces down our eyes

And no-one speaks and no-one tries

And no-one flies around the sun

 

[Instrumental]

C#m vamp (with some F#m) x32

 

[Verse 3]

Cloudless everyday 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]

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

 

[Outro]
