Following the path as it leads towards
The darkness in the north
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
But if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you, the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
Mist is swirling, creatures crawling
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know, the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you, the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
Pull your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life with every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the light will be as clear as on that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you, the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
The darkness in the north
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
But if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you, the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
Mist is swirling, creatures crawling
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know, the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you, the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
Pull your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life with every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the light will be as clear as on that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you, the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way

0General Comment:Wow! I'll be the first here? First of all, this is one of the most evil downward chord progressions in the verse ever written, even by Floyd standards. I think NW3 ranks up there with the song "Black Sabbath" in terms of pure evil menace, even as it came before "Black Sabbath". Again, Pink Floyd on the cutting edge. The song was conceived, written, and entirely played by Dave without any of the rest of the band in the studio. He even played drums. Lyrically, it's mysterious, but creepy, druggy, and, well...weird. This was just what Floyd was succeeding at at the time. "Ummagumma" is just a weird album and that's the highest praise I can give it. But this particular piece is so completely acid-drenched, but it's having a bad trip...is that good when it's Floyd?
