Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air   And deep beneath the rolling waves   In labyrinths of coral caves   The echo of a distant tide   Comes willowing across the sand   And everything is green and submarine      And 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 light      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      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      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      And 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
