Echoes Lyrics

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 submarineAnd no-one showed us to the land
And no-one knows the where or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the lightStrangers 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 canAnd 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 sunCloudless 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 morningAnd no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
