Cirrus Minor
(Waters) 5:16

In a churchyard by a river,
Lazing in the haze of midday,
Laughing in the grasses and the graze.
Yellow bird, you are alone
In singing and in flying on,
In laughing and in leaving.

Willow weeping in the water,
Waving to the river daughters,
Swaying in the ripples and the reeds.
On a trip to Cirrus Minor,
Saw a crater in the sun
A thousand miles of moonlight later.

About the Song

“Cirrus Minor” is a song by Pink Floyd, featured on their 1969 album “More”. The lyrics describe a dreamscape of natural imagery. The title of the song refers to a type of cloud that is thin and wispy, which is also referenced in the lyrics. The song features acoustic guitar, organ, and soft, ethereal vocals from David Gilmour, and it is often considered to be one of the more atmospheric and dreamlike tracks on the album.
