And You and I: i. Cord of Life, ii. Eclipse, iii. The Preacher the Teacher, iv. Apocalypse - 2025 Remaster Songtext
von Yes

(Ok)

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 sides of life with you

Change 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
Oh


Coins and crosses (Turn round tailor assaulting all the mornings of)
Never know their fruitless worth (The interest shown presenting one)
Cords are broken (Another to the cord, All left dying, rediscovered
Of the door)
Locked inside the mother earth (That turned round to close the cover)
They won't hide, oh (All the interest shown, to turn to one another)
They won′t tell you (To the sign, at the time)
Watching the world
Watching all of the world (Float your climb)
Watching us go by

And you and I climb over the sea to the valley
And you and I reach out for reasons to call

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 sight of seeds of life with you

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
Oh, oh

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 expressions laid
As a movement regained and regarded both the same
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you

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
