Echoes
Pink Floyd/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Overhead the albatross
High above, the albatross bird is suspended effortlessly in the air

Hangs motionless upon the air
The bird appears to be floating without making any movements

And deep beneath the rolling waves
Far below the waves of the ocean

In labyrinths of coral caves
Within complex and winding passages of coral caves

An echo of a distant time
A reverberation of a time long gone by

Comes willowing across the sand
Floats gently across the sandy beach

And everything is green and submarine
All that can be seen is green and underwater

And no one called us to the land
No one has summoned us to the shore or the land

And no one knows the where's or why's
There is no understanding of the reasons or the location of the call

Something stirs and something tries
An unknown force is shaking things up, attempting to accomplish something

Starts to climb toward the light
It begins to ascend toward the light

Strangers passing in the street
People who don't know each other as they walk down the street

By chance two separate glances meet
By happenstance, their gazes lock in on one another

And I am you and what I see is me
Somehow, you and I are interconnected, and I see myself in you

And do I take you by the hand
Should I lead you by the hand

And lead you through the land
Should I guide you through the land

And help me understand
So that you can assist me in achieving comprehension

The best I can
To the best of my abilities

And no one called us to the land
No one invited us to the land

And no one crosses there alive
No one has ever managed to cross the region alive

No one speaks and no one tries
No one has attempted to talk about or address the situation

No one flies around the sun
No one has flown around the sun

Almost everyday you fall
Every day, you almost seem to stumble into my life

Upon my waking eyes
I see you when I wake up in the morning

Inviting and inciting me
Tempting and encouraging me

To rise
To get up and start the day

And through the window in the wall
Out of the window, which is part of the wall

Come streaming in on sunlight wings
Beams of light enter through the window, resembling wings of sunlight

A million bright ambassadors of morning
Countless emissaries of the new day come with these lights

And no one sings me lullabys
There is no one to sing me a soothing song

And no one makes me close my eyes
No one commands me to close my eyes

So I throw the windows wide
Instead, I open the windows wide

And call to you across the sky
I shout out to you, far across the skies
