(Waters/Gilmour/Wright/Mason)
One of these days I'm gonna cut you into little pieces
next song previous song Pink Floyd: Shine On Pink Floyd: Meddle A Pillow Of Winds
(Gilmour/Waters)
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 a candle dies
The 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 the dream, the dream is gone
Green fields, a cold rain is falling
Near the golden door
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 rays touch the sky
And the night wings by
next song previous song Pink Floyd: Shine On Pink Floyd: Works Pink Floyd: Meddle Fearless
(Gilmour/Waters)
You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb 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 awhile for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down, hear the sound of the things you said today

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling!
Nothing waits the magistrate turns round
Frowning!
And who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And ev'ry day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear lines in the frown
You look down, hear the sound of the faces in the crowd
next song previous song Pink Floyd: Shine On Pink Floyd: Meddle San Tropez
(Waters)
As I reach for a peach, slide a ride down behind
The 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 the drone of the darkness
Sratched by the sand that fell from our love
Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling
If you're alone I'll come home
Backwards and homebound, the pidgeon, the dove
Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane
Owning a home with no silver spoon
I'm drinking champagne like a big tycoon
Sooner than wait for a break in the weather
I'll gather my far flung thoughts together
Speeding away on a wind to a new day
If you're alone I'll come home

And I pause for a while by a country stile
And listen to things they say
Digging for gold with a hoe in my hand
Hoping they'll take a look at the way things stand
Would you lead me down to the place by the sea?
I hear your soft voice calling to me
Making a date for later by phone
If you're alone I'll come home
next song previous song Pink Floyd: Shine On Pink Floyd: Meddle Seamus
(Mason/Gilmour/Waters/Wright)
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 sinkin' slowly
But my old hound dog sat right down and cried
Pink Floyd: Shine On (3rd disc) previous song Pink Floyd: Shine On Pink Floyd: Meddle Echoes
(Mason/Gilmour/Waters/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 tide comes willowing across the sand
And ev'rything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land and
No one knows the wheres or why and
Something stares and something tries and
Starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street, by chance
Two sep'rate 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

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
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
Call to you across the skies
