Meddle

[Instrumental]

[Interlude: Nick Mason]

One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

A cloud of eiderdown draws around me

Softening the sound

[Refrain]

Sleepy time, when I lie

With my love by my side

And she’s breathing low

[Bridge]

And the candle dies

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

And deep beneath the ground

The early morning sounds

And I go down

[Refrain]

Sleepy time, when I lie

With my love by my side

And she’s breathing low

[Outro]

And I rise, like a bird

In the haze, when the first rays

Touch the sky

And the night winds die

[Verse 1]

You say the hill’s too steep to climb

Chiding

You say you’d like to see me try

Climbing

You pick the place and I’ll choose the time

[Chorus]

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, hear the sound of the things you said today

[Verse 2]

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd

Smiling

Merciless the magistrate turns ’round

Frowning

And who’s the fool who wears the crown?

[Chorus]

And go down 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

[Outro]

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone [cheering]

Liverpool! [clapping] Liverpool! [clapping, cheering]

Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool!

[Verse 1]

As I reach for a peach, slide a rind down behind

The sofa in San Tropez

Breakin' a stick with a brick on the sand

Ridin' a wave in the wake of an old sedan

[Chorus]

Sleepin' alone in the drone of the darkness

Scratched by the sand that fell from my love

Deep in my dreams and I still hear her callin'

"If you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home"

[Verse 2]

Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the dove

Gone with the wind and the rain, on an airplane

Born in a home with no silver spoon

I’m drinking champagne like a good tycoon

[Chorus]

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 ho-ho-home

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

And I pause for a while by a country stile

And listen to the things they say

Diggin' for gold in a hole in my hand

Open a book, take a look at the way things stand

[Chorus]

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 ho-ho-home

[Piano Solo]

[Intro]

*dog howling*

[Verse]

I was in the kitchen

Seamus, that’s the dog, was outside

Well, I was in the kitchen

Seamus, my old hound, was outside, mmm

Well you know, the sun sinks slowly

But my old hound dog sat right down and cried

[Outro]

*dog howling*

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]

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

[Chorus: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]

And no one showed us to the land

And no one knows the where's or why's

But something stirs and something tries

And starts to climb towards the light

[Verse 2: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]

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?

[Chorus: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]

And no one calls us to move on

And no one forces down our eyes

No one speaks and no one tries

No one flies around the Sun

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]

Cloudless, every day 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

[Chorus: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]

And no one sings me lullabies

And no one makes me close my eyes

So I throw the windows wide

Call to you across the sky

[Instrumental Outro]
