Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Ummagumma Lyrics / Grantchester Meadows Lyrics Grantchester Meadows (Waters) 7:28 “Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain”In the sky a bird was heard to cry.Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring soundsBelied the deathly silence that lay all around. Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog foxGone to ground.See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the treesLaughing as it passes through the endless summerMaking for the sea. In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground.Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoonBringing sounds of yesterday into this city room. Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark foxGone to ground.See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the...

The track is known for its experimental style and complex structure, which was quite distinct from the mainstream music of its time. The instrumental odyssey “A Saucerful of Secrets” captures the experimental heart of Pink Floyd’s early work. Unlike the conventional song structure of verses and choruses, this track is a multi-part suite that takes listeners through an array of moods...

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Ummagumma Lyrics / Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Lyrics Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Waters) 9:26 Little by little the night turns around.Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn.Lotuses lean on each other in yearning.Under the eaves the swallow is resting.Set the controls for the heart of the sun. Over the mountain watching the watcher.Breaking the darknessWaking the grapevine.One inch of love is one inch of shadowLove is the shadow that ripens the wine.Set the controls for the heart of the sun.The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun. Witness the man who raves at the wallMaking the shape of his questions to Heaven.Whether the sun will fall in the eveningWill he remember the lesson of giving?Set the controls for the heart of the sun.The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun. 01. Astronomy Domine02. Careful With That...

Unlike their other tracks, this one forgoes traditional lyrics for murmurs, whispers, and an iconic, chilling scream from Roger Waters. The title itself, seemingly a cautionary statement, sets a scene of suspense and impending chaos. The track starts with a serene and meditative arrangement, dominated by Richard Wright’s haunting organ notes and the gentle plucking of David Gilmour’s guitar. The steady, muffled beat from Nick Mason’s drums creates a hypnotic rhythm that lulls the listener into a trance-like state....
