A 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 book falls to the floor As darkness falls and waves roll by The seasons change the wind is warm Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan Behold a dream, the dream is gone Green fields, a cold rain Is falling in a golden dawn And deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds And I go down Sleeping 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 winds die |

You say the hill's too steep to climb, climbing
You say you'd like to see me try, climbing You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just Wait a while of the right day And as I ries above the tree-line and the clouds I look down hearing the sound Of the things you've said today Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling Merciless the magistrate turns round, frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown No doubt in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow You look down hear the sound of the faces in the crowd |

As I reach for a peach
Slide a line down ehind a sofa 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 gthe drone of the darkness Scratched by the sand that fell from my love Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling If you're alone, I'll come home Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the dove Gone withe the wind and the rain on an airplane Born in a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon Sooner than wait for a break in the weather Speeding away on a wind to a new day If you're alone, I'll come home And I'll pause for a while by a country stile And listen to the things they say Digging for gold in a hole in my hand Open the book, take a look at the way things stand And you're leading me down to the place by the sea I hear your soft voice calling to me Making a date for later by phone And 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 old hound, was outside Well you know the sun was sinking slowly And my old 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 willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no-one showed us to the land And no-one knows the where 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 In viting 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 |
