A cloud of eiderdown draws around meSoftening the soundSleepy time when I lie with my love by my sideAnd she's breathing low, and the candle dies
When night comes down you lock the doorThe book falls to the floorAs darkness falls and waves roll byThe seasons change, the wind is warm
Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swanBehold a dream, the dream is goneGreen fields, a cold rainIs falling in a golden dawn
And deep beneath the ground the early morning soundsAnd I go downSleepy time when I lie with my love by my sideAnd she's breathing lowAnd I rise like a birdIn the haze when the first rays touch the skyAnd the night winds die

You say the hill's too steep to climb, chidingYou say you'd like to see me try, climbingYou pick the place and I'll choose the timeAnd I'll climb the hill in my own wayJust wait a while for the right dayAnd as I rise above the tree-line and the cloudsI look down hear the sounds of the things you said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smilingMerciless the magistrate turns round, frowningAnd who's the fool who wears the crownNo doubt in your own wayAnd every day is the right dayAnd as you rise above the fear-lines in his browYou look down hear the sound of the faces in the crowd
...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.
Liverpool! Liverpool!1

As I reach for a peachSlide a line down behind a sofa in San TropezBreaking a stick with a brick on the sandRiding a wave in the wake of an old sedanSleeping alone in the drone of the darknessScratched by the sand that fell from my loveDeep in my dreams and I still hear her callingIf you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home
Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the doveGone with the wind and the rain on an airplaneBorn in a home with no silver spoonI'm drinking champagne like a good tycoonSooner than wait for a break in the weatherI'll gather my far-flung thoughts togetherSpeeding away on a wind to a new dayIf you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home
And I'll pause for a while by a country stileAnd listen to the things they sayDigging for gold in a hole in my handOpen the book, take a look at the way things standAnd you're leading me down to the place by the seaI hear your soft voice calling to meMaking a date for later by phoneAnd if you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the airAnd deep beneath the rolling wavesIn labyrinths of coral cavesThe echo of a distant timeComes willowing across the sandAnd everything is green and submarine
And no-one showed us to the landAnd no-one knows the wheres or whysBut something stirs and something triesNow starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the streetBy chance two separate glances meetAnd I am you and what I see is meAnd do I take you by the handAnd lead you through the landAnd help me understand the best I can
And no-one calls us to move onAnd no-one forces down our eyesNo-one speaks and no-one triesNo-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyesInviting and inciting me to riseAnd through the window in the wallCome streaming in on sunlight wingsA million bright ambassadors of morning
And no-one sings me lullabiesAnd no-one makes me close my eyesSo I throw the windows wideAnd call to you across the sky
