All is love, is all I am
A ball is all I am
I'm so new compared to you
And I am very small
Warm glow, moon bloom
Always need a little more room
Waiting here seems like years
Never seen the light of day
All around I hear strange sounds
Come gurgling in my ear
Red the light and dark the night
I feel my dawn is near
Warm glow, moon bloom
Always need a little more room
Whisper low, here I go
I will see the sunshine show
A ball is all I am
I'm so new compared to you
And I am very small
Warm glow, moon bloom
Always need a little more room
Waiting here seems like years
Never seen the light of day
All around I hear strange sounds
Come gurgling in my ear
Red the light and dark the night
I feel my dawn is near
Warm glow, moon bloom
Always need a little more room
Whisper low, here I go
I will see the sunshine show

If I'm not mistaken, isn't it David Gilmour and Rick Wright that share lead vocals on Embryo? Live in Montreaux in 1969 David and Rick sang it, and did so at every other live show going forward -- until 1971 when they dropped it from their tour set list.
David has that very haunting, soft lullaby-like voice. David and Rick are hard to tell apart -- if they are both singing, or if it is David harmonizing with himself through multi-tracking, but Roger sounds totally different.
All this love is all I am (love and conception)
A ball is all I am (state of the embryo)
I'm so new, compared to you (compared to its mom)
And I am very small
Warm glow, moon gloom (environment of the womb)
Always need a little more room (outgrowing its space rapidly)
Waiting here, seems like years (waiting to be born)
Never seen the light of day (what is outside mom's belly)
All around, I hear strange sounds (environment)
Come drifting round my ears
Red the light, and dark the night (biological environment)
I feel my dawn is near (almost time to be born)
Warm glow, moon gloom
Always need a little more room
Whisper low, here I go (the moment of birth)
I will see the sunshine show (enters the world)
While this would have been a good closing song, it doesn't really fit on Ummagumma, in terms of how it sounds. I like it better as it did come, off of Works.
However, I wish this was on Ummagumma as the closer for the studio disc.
The Grand Vizier's Garden Party isn't bad, but it's no good closer. The Narrow Way would have been better, but the perfect closer would have been Embryo.
