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’s or why’s But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb toward 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 can?And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks and no one tries 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 So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky
