And You And I

From album : Close to the Edge


A. Cord Of Life

Written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Chris Squire

A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream.
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
 
Coins and crosses never
Know their fruitless worth,
Cords are borken, locked
Inside the mother Earth
They won't hide hold
They won't tell you
Watching the world
Watching all of the world,
Watching us go by..
Turn around tailor assaulting all
The mornings of the inrest shown,
Presenting one another to the
Cord, all left dying, erdiscovered
Of the door, that timed round to close
The cover, all the intrest shown, to
Turn to one another, to the sign
At the time
For your climb

And you and I climb over the sea to the valley,
And you and I reached out for reasons to call.
 

B. Eclipse

Written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford & Chris Squire

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
As a movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the side of seeds of life with you.
 

C. The Preacher the Teacher

Written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe & Chris Squire

Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you.
Ooh, ooh.

I listened hard but could not see
Life tempo change out and inside me.
The preacher trained in all to lose his name;
The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same.
In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalise
That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
As a moment regained and regarded both the same,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you.
 

D. Apocalypse

Written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe & Chris Squire

And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning.
And you and I reach over the sun for the river.
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement.
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas.
