Echoes



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 called 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

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

Wednesday

Together we stand, divided we fall

Hey You


Hey you!
out there in the cold
getting lonely, getting cold, can you feel me
Hey you!
Standing in the aisles

with itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey you!
Don't help them bury the light

Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you!
Out there on your own

Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me
Hey you!
With your ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me
Hey you!
Would you help me to carry the stone

Open your heart, i'm coming home

But it was only fantasy

The Wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

Hey you!
Out there on the road

Doing what you're told, can you help me
Hey you!
Out there beyond the wall

Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you!
Don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand
Divided we fall
