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 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 the land 
And no one crosses there alive 
And no one speaks 
And no one tries 
And no one flies around the sun 
And now this is the day you fall 
Upon my waking eyes 
Inviting and inciting me to rise 
And through the window in the wall 
Comes streamin 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 call to you across the sky.
