.There was a king who ruled the land
His majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showered silver on the people
Oh mother tell me more
Why'd you have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air waiting
You only have to read the lines of
Scribbly black and everything shines.
Across the stream with wooden shoes
Bells to tell the King the news
A thousand misty riders
Climb up higher once upon a time
Wondering and dreaming
The words have different meanings.
Yes they did...
For all the time spent in that room
The doll's house darkness old perfume
And fairy stories held me high
On clouds of sunlight floating by
Oh mother tell me more
Tell me more...

Pink Floyd - Remember A Day (Official Audio)
From: A Saucerful of Secrets (1968)
.Remember a day before today
A day when you were young
Free to play along with time
Evening never comes.
Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen you shall be if you wish
Look for your king.
Why can't we play today
Why can't we stay that way
Climb your favourite apple tree
Try to catch the sun.
Hide from your little brother's gun
Dream yourself away.
Why can't we reach the sun
Why can't we blow the years away.
Remember.
Words, Keyboard, & sung by Richard Wright

Pink Floyd - Childhood's End (Official Audio) From: Obscured by Clouds (1972)
.You Shout in your sleep, perhaps the price is just too steep
Is your conscience at rest, if once put to the test
You awake with a start, to just the beating of your heart
Just one man beneath the sky, just two ears just two eyes
You set sail across the sea, of long past thoughts and memories
Childhood's end your fantasies, merge with harsh realities
And then as the sail is hoist, you find your eyes are growing moist
And all the fears never voiced, say you have to make a final choice
Who are you and who am I, to say we know the reason why
Some are born some men die, beneath one infinite sky
There'll be war there'll be peace, but everything one day will cease
All the iron turned to rust, all the proud men turned to dust
So all things time will mend, so this song will end.

Pink Floyd - Free Four (Official Audio)
From Obscured by Clouds 1972
The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room
And talk to yourself as you die.
Life is a short warm moment
And death is a long cold rest
You get your chance to try
In the twinkling of an eye
Eighty years with luck or even less
So all aboard for the American tour
And maybe you'll make it to the top
But mind how you go
And I can tell you 'cause I know
You may find it hard to get off.
But you are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son
He was buried like a mole in a fox-hole
And everyone's still on the run
And who is the master of foxhounds
And who says the hunt has begun.
And who calls the tune in the courtroom
And who beats the funeral drum.
The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room
And talk to yourself as you die.
.

Pink Floyd - Time (2023 Remaster) Original from 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon
.Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waist the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or sonething to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'g something more to say.
