Now, now, now

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
Carter’s father saw him there

The living soul of Hereward the Wake
[Verse 3: Richard Wright and Roger Waters]
Oh, my
Something in my eye, eye
Something in the sky, sky
Waiting there for me
[Chorus: David Gilmour]
The outer lock rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes was Lucy in the sky
[Verse 4: Richard Wright and Roger Waters]
Oh, oh

Never ever will they

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
Summoning his cosmic powers
And glowing slightly from his toes
His psychic emanations flowed
