Pink Floyd lyrics

Album: Meddle [1971]

One Of These Days
One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces

A Pillow Of Winds
The 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 look falls to the floor As darkness falls and waves roll by The seasons changed, the wind is warm Now wakes the owl, now sleep the swan Behold the dream, the dream is gone Green fields, a cold rain Is falling in a golden glow And deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds And I go down Sleepy 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 wings die

Fearless
You say the hill's too steep to climb, try it You say you'd like to see me try climb it You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just wait a while for the right day And as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds I look down, hearing the sounds of the things you've said today Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling Mercyless the magistrate turns round, frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown Go down in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in his crown You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd You never walk alone, you never walk alone Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you never walk alone, you never walk alone

San Tropez
As I reach for a peach, slide a ride down behind a chauffeur 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 the drone of the darkness Scratched by the sand that fell from my love Keeping my dreams and I still hear her calling If you're alone, I'll come home Backward and homebound, a pigeon, a dove Gone with the wind, the rain on an airplane Owning a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon Sooner than wait for a break in the weather I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together Speeding away on the wind to a new day If you're alone, I'll come home And I pause for a while by a country style And listen to the things they say Digging the gold in a hole in my hand Hoping the good, take a look at the way things end And you're leading me down to a place by the sea I hear your soft voice calling to me Making a date for Rita Pavone If you're alone, I'll come home

Seamus
I was in the kitchen Seamus, that's the dog, was outside Well I was in the kitchen Seamus, my own hound, was outside Well you know the sun was sinking slowly And my own hound-dog sat right down and cried

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 time comes billowing across the sand And everything is green, the sun beneath And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's or the why's But something stares and something tries And starts to climb towards the land Strangers passing in the street by chance to separate closes 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 dawn And no one forces down our eyes And no one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and insighting 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 So I throw the windows wide And crawl to you across the sky
