Song 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 submarine

And no-one showed 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

A true masterpiece by Pink Floyd. David Gilmour and Rick Wright executed this great song with absolute greatness. The Live at Pompeii version proves my point

1 of my favourite songs of all time, the Rhythm, Melody, Instruments, Lyrics and Vocals are just perfect. Usually listen to this song when i want to "chill out". And by the way Famest i'm swedish too and i totally agree about the hip hop/ r 'n'b/ rap thing. they usually just use their computers to make the "beat" and melody and so on. i just can't call that music, maybe it's music for somebodys ears but to me it sounds like some1 who would really like to be able to play an instrument but they can't. and real music is made by real humans and instruments

This song is purely the most amazing song ever made, from the very first *pling* to the ending with the wind, I shiver, from top to toe, this song is beautiful. Not only was the song made using all band-members feelings, it has a rather technical beauty which is hard to find in songs in the 21'st century, now it's only about making the catchiest R'n'B-song(I don't know what they play on the radio in your countries, but here in Sweden it's all about rap/hip-hop/R'n'B, and of course that junk-so-called-rock -_-. I thank Pink Floyd for making this song, and for all of their albums, not only the 19 albums in the discography, but all of their works, which you can find out on the web(10 gigs of Pink Floyd on my computer right now ). Yes, Pink Floyd is the best band ever, so let's thank the members for making songs that have made us happy when we were sad, that made us love eachother when we were mad, thank you Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Roger Waters .
