Artist/Band: Pink Floyd
Lyrics for Song: A Pillow Of Winds
Lyrics for Album: Meddle [1971]



A cloud of eiderdown

Draws around me

Softening a sound.

Sleepy time, and I lie,

With my love by my side,

And she's breathing low.



And the candle dies.



When night comes down

You lock the door.

The book falls to the floor.

As darkness falls

The waves roll by,

The seasons change

The wind is wry.



Now wakes the hour

Now sleeps the swan

Behold the dream

The dream is gone.

Green fields are calling

It's falling, in a golden door.



And deep beneath the ground,

The early morning sounds

And I go down.

Sleepy time, and I lie,

With my love by my side,

And she's breathing low.



And I rise, like a bird,

In the haze, when the first rays

Touch the sky.



And the night wings die.


A Pillow Of Winds

Released on Pink Floyd's 1971 album Meddle, 'A Pillow Of Winds' stands as a pivotal moment in the band's transition from psychedelic pop to progressive rock. The track features the distinctive sound of the Moog synthesizer, blending electronic textures with traditional rock instrumentation to create an ethereal and atmospheric soundscape. Often cited as a precursor to their later masterpiece The Dark Side of the Moon, the song explores themes of introspection and the passage of time through its haunting melody and Richard Wright's iconic organ work. Its innovative use of studio technology helped redefine the boundaries of rock music in the early 1970s.
