Pink Floyd - Lyrics

rest your aching limbs for a little bit

before you can find his private room

and you can't delay

hear the nightbirds calling him

to care and catch the words to say

close by in the nightmare of your brain

Misty swelling creatures crawling

hear the roar get louder in your ears

you know the volume as you're on the force

behind can't conquer all your fears

All your birds aren't really listening

tell them there is life with every morning

perhaps today you can when you answer me

it's clear, it's all nights warning

‘70

If I were the swan, I'd be gone

if I were the train, I'd be late (again)

and if I were the good man

I'd talk with you more often than I do

If I were to sleep I could dream

if I were afraid I could hide

if I go insane

please don't put your wires in my brain

If I were the moon, I'd be cool

if I were the rule, I would bend

if I were a good man

I'd understand the spaces between friends

If I were alone, I would cry

and if I were with you, I'd be home and dry

and if I go insane

will you still let me join in with the game.

Would you like to say something before you leave

perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel

we say goodbye before we've said hello

I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all

we met just six hours ago, the music was too loud

from your bed I came today and lost a bloody year

and I would like to know, how do you feel

how do you feel

Not a single word we've said, the lights stay without fears

occasionaly you showed a smile but what was the need

I felt the cold far too soon in the world of ninety-five

my friends they're in the sun, I wish that I was there

tomorrow brings another town, another girl like you

have you time before you leave to greet another man

just to let me know, how do you feel

how do you feel

Goodbye to you

shall it bring girls due

I had a love for one day

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

summer-evening birds are calling

summer sun do you travel yet

the sound of music in my ears

distant bells, new grown grass smells so sweet

by the river holding hands

you're old enough and lay me down

And if you see, don't make a sound

pick your feet up off the ground

and if you hear as the warm night falls

the silver sound from a time so strange

sing to me, sing to me

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

summer-evening birds are calling

children's laughter in my ears

and then the sunlight disappears.

‘71

One of these days

I'm going to cut you into little pieces

The cloud of eiderdown draws around me

softening the sound

sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side

and she's breathing low, and the candle dies

When night comes down you lock the door

the look falls to the floor

as darkness falls and waves roll by

the seasons changed, the wind is warm

Now wakes the owl, now sleep the swan

behold the dream, the dream is gone

green fields, a cold rain

is falling in a golden glow

And deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds

and I go down

sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side

and she's breathing low, and I rise like a bird

in the haze when the first rays touch the sky

and the night wings die

You say the hill's too steep to climb, try it

you say you'd like to see me try climb it

you pick the place and I'll choose the time

and I'll climb the hill in my own way

just wait a while for the right day

and as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds

I look down, hearing the sounds of the things you've said today

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling

mercyless the magistrate turns round, frowning

and who's the fool who wears the crown

go down in your own way

and every day is the right day

and as you rise above the fear-lines in his crown

you look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd

You never walk alone, you never walk alone

walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

and you never walk alone, you never walk alone

As I reach for a peach, slide a ride down

behind a chauffeur in San Tropez

breaking a stick with a brick on the sand

riding a wave in the wake of an old sedan

sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness

scratched by the sand that fell from my love

keeping my dreams and I still hear her calling

if you're alone, I'll come home

Backward and homebound, a pigeon, a dove

gone with the wind, the rain on an airplane

owning a home with no silver spoon

I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon

sooner than wait for a break in the weather

I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together

speeding away on the wind to a new day

if you're alone, I'll come home

And I pause for a while by a country style

and listen to the things they say

digging the gold in a hole in my hand

hoping the good, take a look at the way things end

and you're leading me down to a place by the sea

I hear your soft voice calling to me

making a date for Rita Pavone

if you're alone, I'll come home

I was in the kitchen

Seamus, that's the dog, was outside

well I was in the kitchen

Seamus, my own hound, was outside

well you know the sun was sinking slowly

and my own hound-dog sat right down and cried

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 billowing across the sand

and everything is green, the sun beneath

and no one showed us to the land

and no one knows the where's or the why's

but something stares and something tries

and starts to climb towards the land

Strangers passing in the street by chance to separate closes 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 the dawn

and no one forces down our eyes

and no one speaks and no one tries

no one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes

inviting and insighting 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

so I throw the windows wide

and crawl to you across the sky

‘71
