C#m
Overhead the albatross
G#m
Hangs motionless upon the air
F#m
And deep beneath the rolling waves
G#
In labyrinths of coral caves
C#m
The echo of a distant time
G#m
Comes willowing across the sand
F#m G#
And everything is green and submarine
C#
And no-one showed us to the land
G#
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
F#m
But something stirs and something tries
G# A
And starts to climb towards the light
C#m
Strangers passing in the street
G#m
By chance two separate glances meet
F#m G#
And I am you and what I see is me
C#m
And do I take you by the hand
G#m
And lead you through the land
F#m G#
And help me understand the best I can
C#
And no-one calls us to move on
G#
And no-one forces down our eyes
F#m
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
G# A
And no-one flies around the sun

C#m G#m
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
F#m G#
Inviting and inciting me to rise
C#m
And through the window in the wall
G#m
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
F#m G#
A million bright ambassadors of morning
C#
And no-one sings me lullabies
G#
And no-one makes me close my eyes
F#m
So I throw the windows wide
G# A
And call to you across the sky
