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 stares 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

time
ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
you fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
waiting for someone or something to show you the way

tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
and then one day you find ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

so you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
shorter of breath and one day closer to death

every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
the time is gone, the song is over,
thought i'd something more to say

mother
mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
mother, do you think they'll like this song?
mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
ooooowaa , should i build a wall?

mother, should i run for president?
mother, should i trust the government?
mother, will they put me in the firing line?
ooooowaa is it just a waste of time?

hush, my baby. baby, don't you cry.
momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
momma's gonna put all of her fears into you.
momma's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
she won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.
momma's gonna keep baby cozy and warm.
oooo babe.
oooo babe.
ooo babe, of course momma's gonna help build a wall.

mother, do you think she's good enough,
for me?
mother, do you think she's dangerous,
to me?
mother will she tear your little boy apart?
ooooowaa , will she break my heart?

hush, my baby. baby, don't you cry.
momma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
momma won't let anyone dirty get through.
momma's gonna wait up until you get in.
momma will always find out where you've been.
momma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
oooo babe.
oooo babe.
ooo babe, you'll always be baby to me.

mother, did it need to be so high?
