1. Overhead the albatross hangs
Asmi
Motionless upon the air
F#mi
And deep beneath the rolling waves
As
In labyrinths of coral caves
C#mi
The echo of a distant time
Asmi
Comes willowing across the sand
F#mi As
And everything is green and submarine

R: And no-one showed us to the land
As
And no-one knows the where or whys
F#mi
But something stirs and something tries
Asmi A
And starts to climb towards the light
C#mi A (3x)

2. 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
R: 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
3. Cloudless 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 morning
R: 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
