Echoes
Overhead the albatrossHangs 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 called us to the landAnd no-one knows the where’s or why’sSomething stirs and something triesStarts to climb towards 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 eyesAnd no-one speaks and no-one triesAnd no-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyesInciting and inviting 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
